I'm a software engineering student in Heilbronn. I love building new things and figuring out real problems.

Selected work

Projects

ChargeStay

Germany's first marketplace where people rent out their own EV chargers. Drivers find a free Wallbox nearby on a live map, filter by plug type, power and availability, and pay securely through Stripe. If you own a Wallbox, you list it and earn a bit on the side.

My take

I'm building ChargeStay from end to end, from the live map and booking flow to the Stripe payments and the host side. It taught me how much trust a real product has to earn when people put both their money and their charger on the line.

Lea

A little menu bar app that keeps Claude working while you sleep. Lea watches your usage limit and works through a queue of tasks on its own whenever you have capacity. When you hit the limit it pauses, then picks right back up the moment it resets. Line up tasks before bed and wake up to them done. It's open source (MIT) and runs safely sandboxed on Mac, Windows and Linux.

My take

Lea started as my own annoyance. I hated watching Claude sit idle after the limit reset at 3am. Building the logic that knows exactly when the limit comes back, and running everything safely in the background, taught me a lot about reliability and getting real work done while you're away.

Synqro

An app for groups and communities that plan events together. Synqro keeps everyone on the same page with shared deadlines for the things that need doing, attendance lists, a photo consent step (DSGVO) for events with students, and a place where people can note their allergies so no one gets left out.

My take

The idea hit me on a two day CERN trip with three of our professors. On day two we had to get to CERN on our own, but nobody in my group knew that, and the plan the professor gave us before the trip was already out of date, so we almost missed the second day of the excursion. On top of that, the professors wanted to put our photos on the HHN website, so they went around asking every student to sign for permission by hand. Synqro is my answer to both: one place that always has the current plan, and a built in way to collect photo consent.

ProTrack

A simple app so you never miss a dose of your supplements. ProTrack reminds you to take your protein, creatine and whatever else you're on, so your routine keeps running without you having to think about it.

My take

My friend and I go to the gym together, and we used to remind each other over WhatsApp to take our supplements. Some days we both just forgot, so I built ProTrack to do the reminding for us. Now neither of us has to think about it.

About

A bit about me

Heilbronn, Germany

I'm a software engineering student at Heilbronn University (HHN), and I'm naturally curious. I always want to build something new and solve real problems with clean, thoughtful code.

I work mostly with Java, I love building and setting up PCs from scratch, and I know how to use AI as a tool that makes me faster and sharper. Right now I'm open to internships and working student roles.

Outside of code, I volunteer in the Hoover Quartier here in Heilbronn. I look after children while their parents are away and go along to events with them as a supervisor, I help older residents with their IT problems like setting up email or changing a password, and I lend a hand with the setup and teardown of events. I genuinely enjoy being there for the people around me.
