Hi, I'm David — a software developer based in Vienna who spends his working hours wrangling C# and C++, and his free hours wrangling filament, ESP32 boards, and the occasional stubborn Raspberry Pi that refuses to boot at 2am for no discernible reason.
By day, I build things that live inside a compiler. By night, I build things that live on my desk, usually involving more sensors than strictly necessary and at least one exotic filament that cost more than it should have. If it can be automated, containerized, or 3D printed, I've probably already got three tabs open trying to figure out how.
What I Actually Do Here
This blog is where I document the chaos of turning "wouldn't it be cool if..." into something that actually works — most of the time. Also, I had to fill this domain with content instead of using it as a Mail Domain only.
The Fine Print
This is a private, ad-free corner of the internet — no Google tracking, no data-selling, no comment section for strangers to argue in. I host it myself through IONOS, mostly out of the same instinct that makes me build my own NAS instead of just buying one.
When I'm not coding or soldering something questionable, you'll find me lifting heavy things at the gym, because staring at a monitor for 10 hours a day demands some kind of physical rebellion. Expect posts about hardware builds, printing disasters turned triumphs, and the occasional deep dive into whatever rabbit hole I fell into that week.
Full disclosure: this site went dark for a long stretch, and the actual blog just sat there collecting dust. Recently I got the itch back and handed Claude the keys for a fast round of UI work, so here we are: a real front end again, held together by good intentions and an AI pair programmer.
