Software engineer,
occasional hardware tinkerer.
I’m a software engineer from Germany who loves to tinker with new technologies. Right now I spend a lot of time working with React, TypeScript and Go, and every now and then I take on a fight with the Rust compiler.
I work as a part-time software engineer at Friendly Captcha, where we are building a privacy and accessibility focused alternative to Google’s reCAPTCHA.
The rest of my time goes into side projects, which mostly means building apps around Discord. With Xenon and Embed Generator I run two of the biggest apps on the platform and have built a small business around them. Recently I launched Kite, a no-code platform for building Discord apps.
When I build something interesting, I usually write about it.
What I work on
Xenon
Backups, templates and server cloning for Discord, running across hundreds of thousands of servers.
Embed Generator
A visual editor for rich Discord messages, embeds and components.
Kite
A no-code platform for building Discord apps.
Merlin's Data
Datasets I crawl on a schedule and publish, each with the analysis and method behind it.
Friendly Captcha
A privacy and accessibility focused alternative to Google’s reCAPTCHA, where I work part-time.
