Portfolio
Built, actually shipped web products. Each case study covers the challenge, approach, result and the tech used.
A 2006 Heidelberg master's thesis on the cultural shaping of machines — twenty years on, an uncannily precise description of how a language model comes into being. Re-edited and published as a bilingual book via BoD.
A calm, scientifically grounded 3D Earth explorer — in the browser and in VR — with real climate, ocean and live-traffic layers, plus a deep-time mode back to Pangaea.
A bespoke desktop archive that turns decades of Kula-ring fieldwork into a searchable, mapped and 3D-visualised database — fully offline and encrypted, so community-collected knowledge never leaves the researcher's machine.
Self-hosted, non-custodial infrastructure that lets AI agents use real APIs without ever holding the credentials — and turns every action into a tamper-evident, independently verifiable record, anchored on-chain.
A modular pipeline that reads a debate transcript, labels the rhetorical move behind each turn (question, deflection, attack, straw man, Gish gallop, whataboutism, tu quoque, loaded question — plus constructive markers), and links the statements into a typed, explorable graph.
An OpenAI-compatible proxy that gives a language model a searchable long-term memory: it compresses the context window on the fly, offloads it into a semantic store, and reloads only what's relevant — cutting token cost while keeping the model's memory across the context limit.
Point a phone camera at the printed card and an animated 3D avatar appears on it in AR, greets you and offers tappable contact actions — no app install, straight in the browser.
A genuine 1983 roguelike, compiled to WebAssembly and running in any browser inside a hand-built phosphor-CRT terminal.
A calm German harm-reduction portal that explains cannabis — knowledge, law and safer use — with sources you can check.
An anonymous marketplace for natural animal materials — from hunters, farms and second-hand — with species protection and CITES rules built in.
An anonymous marketplace connecting hunters and buyers for regional game meat — real names and contact are shared only after both sides agree.
A calm, bilingual (German + English) knowledge hub that teaches 3D capture — photogrammetry and 3D Gaussian splatting — from the first scan to a finished 3D model, with honest software comparisons and end-to-end workflows.
A German documentation site that tells the history of film technology as a clear timeline with sourced milestones — cameras, lighting, and grip/camera movement — from the pioneers to today.
Four small, fast, genuinely free web tools that each do one thing well — entirely in the browser, no signup, no upload, no cookies for the core function.
A tool to supervise a whole fleet of AI coding agents across one or more machines — from the desktop and the phone: see live sessions, read output, grant approvals and send commands. Agent-CLI-agnostic, end-to-end encrypted, with a tamper-proof audit log.
A local-first “case workbench” that turns years of scattered documents into a validated, navigable knowledge base — and prepares precise, source-backed handover packages for a lawyer. It organises and substantiates; it does not give legal advice.
