Whoami

I am currently Electronics Engineer at Advantics and live in the Geneva Area. I currently work on the embedded linux stack for the Advantics charge controllers as well as writing Firmware for the various power conversion systems.

In the past I have:

  • tutored many students on electronics and detector related systems

  • written test orchestration software during my time as Technical student at CERN while working on characterizing part of a radiation hard read out ASIC.

  • Architected a configuration management and application system for configuring ASICS within the HGCAL detector

  • worked on FPGA based measurement systems and try to spend a lot of time thinking about the eventual user of the software.

I seek to design systems that are understandable, discoverable to the user and help them instead of being in their way. I also worked as a tutor for second semester students the course "Computergestuetzte Datenauswertung" and hope to get more into teaching as this has been very rewarding for me in the past.

I am keenly interested in a few things

  • Aircraft
  • Computers
  • (Formal)Languages

I strive to learn about stuff and would guess that I can be fascinated by any topic complex enough (which let's be honest is essentially every topic when done well). For this reason I generally don't have much free time on my hands that will not immediately be committed to one project or the other (which I again have a faaaaar to long list of).

What I do

  • Fly and build model aircraft
  • Tinker around with software systems of all type
  • I also like designing logic circuits using verilog/VHDL.
  • I am quite interested in high performance computing and electronics (which complement everything else quite well).
  • I am also doing more and more work towads being able to render graphics using rust and wgpu.
  • I am looking to eventually be able to visualize all kind of geometric algorithms using the stuff I have learned there.

I'm a generaly very curious person. I realy enjoy discovering and building things, and as most of it can be done using a computer, I have adopted a pretty minimalist lifestyle lately and am quite enjoying it.

I really think that we need to change our habbits as humans to consume less and try to be happier instead while providing the essentials to as many people as possible If you like what you read, or have some other oppinions, please let me know by writing to me.

As the internet is seemingly getting worse, you can find a list of interesting things that I have found on my blog.

Hope you find the things here useful.
