About me

I'm just a random 20 years old guy from Germany who loves to code and create things. I have a passion for web development and enjoy building applications that solve real-world problems.

Currently I'm in between finishing my Abitur and starting my studies in computer science at the Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule in Jena.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate or just want to chat about tech!

Route To Page

Visit Project

Route To Page solves a problem that has frustrated me for a long time: wanting to quickly share a URL or file with another device or person without having to type out the entire link.

To solve this, you simply paste the URL or upload your file to routeto.page to generate a short, easy-to-type 6-digit Route Code. On the receiving device, just open routeto.page, enter the code, and—like magic—you are instantly redirected to the original URL or file download.

Vereinte Bürgerliste – Voting Platform

Visit Project

For the Vereinte Bürgerliste – Liste für Naumburg, Bad Kösen und die angeschlossenen Gemeinden e.V. (United Citizens' List), I developed a voting website for the local elections in Naumburg in June 2024.

The platform allowed users to anonymously submit ideas for the Citizens' List's election program. Additionally, anyone can vote for their favorite ideas using anonymous likes or dislikes, directly influencing their ranking. The Citizens' List uses these submitted ideas to optimize its election program and better align it with the wishes and needs of the community.

Abiball Ticket Booking & Management System

Visit Project

For our school’s graduation ball (Abiball), I developed a complete, end-to-end ticket booking and management ecosystem from scratch.

To ensure a secure and seamless user experience, students could instantly log in via OAuth2 using their existing school Microsoft accounts to purchase tickets through a custom online shop. Once a purchase was completed, the system automatically generated and emailed the tickets, which also featured full Google Wallet integration for easy access on the go.

To handle the logistics on the night of the event, I also built a custom mobile scanner application. This allowed our team at the venue entrance to quickly scan QR codes and validate tickets in real time, ensuring a smooth and efficient check-in process for all guests.

Upcycling Highway Infrastructure

Watch Video

For this project, I breathed new life into an old piece of highway history by converting a decommissioned roadside emergency phone box (Notrufsäule) into a fully functional party photo booth.

The hardware setup features an intuitive touchscreen interface for users to preview and snap their photos, alongside an integrated Canon Selphy CP1500 printer that delivers instant physical prints on the spot. Under the hood, the booth runs a custom Windows application I developed to manage the camera and printing logistics.

To bridge the gap between physical memories and digital sharing, the application automatically uploads every photo right after it's taken. The booth then generates a dynamic QR code on the screen, allowing guests to instantly download their pictures to their smartphones.
