Selected Projects
Multiplayer Game
RoadTax
A hex-based strategy game for 2–5 players running in the browser. Moves are validated on the server, so the client can't cheat.
Open Source Plugin
ToMindMap
A mind-mapping plugin for Obsidian Canvas. Auto-layout, linked topics and export — installable on desktop and phone.
Hackathon Project
SideStroll
An AI quest engine that turns your interests, weather and free time into a real-world outing. Built with a team of five in 48 hours at the TUM.ai Makeathon 2026.
AI Notes App
Mino
An AI-first notes app that turns rough thoughts into mindmaps, then lets you ask them questions.
AI + Finance
Agentic Trading Bot
An AI decision layer over Alpaca where the model proposes and Python validates — position sizing, risk limits and PDT rules are all enforced before an order is ever placed.
Infrastructure
WorldFolder
Self-hosted game server platform. Spin up a server without knowing what CPU power or mod packs it needs.
To the limit and beyond!

Outside of tech, I enjoy organizing small creative events and filming short videos with friends.
