Welcome to my online playground! I’m Patrick, an Embedded Systems & Electronics Engineer based in Heidelberg, Germany.
A long time ago, in a forest far far away…
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The easiest way to describe me is that I’m a creative developer who likes to think up new ideas and make them happen.
Whether it be as an electrical engineer in the fields of medical engineering and robotics or as a spare-time web designer and coder.
And not to forget: I am a proud VW minibus owner!
Some spare-time fun
Basic Homebridge platform plugin for the digitalSTROM smart home system. Control your digitalStrom light and shade devices with Apple HomeKit and Siri.
Web analytics tool for (static) web pages. Build with Svelte and FaunaDB. On top of Netlify and its serverless functions and identity services.
Online tool for creating and planning handball training sessions. Put together exercises with detailed descriptions, images and videos. All filtered by category, skill level, available space and more.
Swiss Army Knife of skills & knowledge
I apply an interdisciplinary approach backed by solid experience in mechatronics.
My core expertise lies in electronics and embedded systems, with a strong focus on hardware design and system integration—particularly for medical devices.

And when it’s time to get my hands dirty with hardware design, Altium Designer is the tool of my choice — alongside a range of development environments and utilities that support my daily workflow in design and coding.
