I'm a mechatronics enthusiast and teen maker (Hardware Revision 2010) from the Netherlands. Basically, I live at the chaotic intersection of code, copper wire, and 3D printer filament, just trying to build cool things without accidentally causing a localized power outage. (usually failing though)

When I'm not trying to fix that one error or waiting for my print to finish, you can find me either watching star wars with an energy drink or at the gym working on myself.

• Mechatronics and Robotics: Designing the random robot that looks back, because i can and have nothing else to do. Doing it for the love of the game!
• Looking at stuff: if it has a power input and it's mine, it has been opened up atleast once. always looking at stuff, tearing it apart to look whats inside and trying not to break it.
• 3D Printing and CAD: Spend months at a time in fusion on a single module, for it to end up not working because i forgor to set my printers' settings correctly (why is grid infill even an option)
• Web Stuff: vibecoding simple webpages to host 3D models of complex projects to share it with people, or just out of boredom in class.

• Languages: C, C++, C#, Python, Node.js, HTML / CSS (I admit to vibecoding web stuff, because I can't be bothered to actually learn how to design visually appealing webpages, not my proffesion)
• Hardware and Ecosystems: ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP-IDF, Servo motors (can't afford actuators..), Platform IO and Monster energy
• Software / IDEs: VSCode, Fusion360, Makerworld, OrcaSlicer and sticky notes.

• Gyro: built out of boredom, started 185 days ago (automatically updates :)
• ESP32 Spotify Desk Thing: A little "currently playing" display with 3 switches to control playback. my first ever permanent project!
• Webpages: Simple (vibecoded) webpages to show recent projects and to make out of boredom
