Hardware, aerospace and Linux systems engineering in Frankfurt am Main. Scroll through the studio or select an instrument on the 3D desk to inspect each live subsystem.
Full studio view: Arch Linux ultrawide workspace, Nord-Micro avionics RLC bench, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell tower and Linux shader laptop.
Center curved display: live /proc/[pid]/smaps_rollup Proportional Set Size telemetry, Wayland PAM facial lock and Go runtime scavenger metrics.
Right instrumentation bay: Nord-Micro cabin outflow-valve PID controller and dual-channel AC RLC impedance & Lissajous oscilloscope.
Left portrait monitor & workstation chassis: NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (98 GB VRAM) synthesis queue and WS 2027 Elektrotechnik dossier.
Foreground Linux notebook: 5,302-line Three.js WebGL2 procedural atmospheric & Gerstner ocean engine running at 60 Hz.
Every control in this console is wired directly to the 3D avionics oscilloscope and curved Linux monitor on the studio desk above. Sweep excitation frequency, series resistance, inductance or cabin differential pressure to inspect the real-time transfer response.
Models the series RLC sensor network and cabin outflow-valve actuator response studied during the Nord-Micro AG & Co. OHG placement in Frankfurt.
Summing Resident Set Size across forked processes counts shared libc and Wayland compositor pages multiple times. Reading /proc/[pid]/smaps_rollup yields exact Proportional Set Size attribution.

}Five systems built from the ground up across aerospace cabin control, Linux kernel memory accounting, biometric security, GPU media synthesis and real-time WebGL2 shaders.
Developed a zero-dependency Linux memory census that parses /proc/[pid]/smaps_rollup across every active process group, separating true Proportional Set Size (PSS) from inflated Resident Set Size (RSS) caused by shared dynamic libraries.
Paired the profiler with runtime scavenger patches in Go (GOGC and GOMEMLIMIT tuning) to bound background daemon heap growth on Arch Linux workstations.
Completed a four-week engineering placement at Nord-Micro AG & Co. OHG (Collins Aerospace) in Frankfurt-Bergen-Enkheim during Summer 2025, working with cabin air-management and pressurisation systems engineers.
Investigated outflow-valve actuation dynamics, differential pressure safety envelopes and sensor filtering across commercial flight profiles from sea-level climb to FL390 cruise.
Built an end-to-end automated video production and verification pipeline on an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (98 GB VRAM) for École avec Alex, rendering 191 full-HD scenes with Chatterbox neural voice synthesis and Faster-Whisper word-timestamp verification.
Authored Obsidian Tide in 64-bit Python and NumPy, combining six-octave domain-warped fractional Brownian motion with custom tone curves for artifact-free atmospheric fields.
Engineered a 5,302-line Three.js and WebGL2 simulation engine with zero external 3D models or audio files. Every mesh, Rayleigh-Mie sky dome, four-wave Gerstner water surface and Web Audio synthesizer node is generated mathematically at boot.
Verified deterministic 60 Hz accumulator physics, separating-axis collision response and GPU draw-call budgets using 48 automated Chrome DevTools Protocol probes in TypeScript.
Wrote a native C11 biometric session lock for Wayland compositors integrating Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules (libpam), pam_howdy infrared facial recognition and GTK4 ext-session-lock-v1 surfaces.
Added non-blocking V4L2 infrared camera capture and exponential backoff retry logic so hardware facial verification completes in under 420 milliseconds without blocking the compositor event loop.
Across Linux systems programming, numerical signal processing and GPU graphics, the focus stays on transparent, inspectable code with minimal dependencies and predictable memory layout.
