Beyond the Workshop

I'm a father of four grown-up children, a certified diver and someone who has always enjoyed being active and spending time in nature.Whether it's diving, climbing, racket sports, drawing or working with wood and other materials, I enjoy exploring new skills and taking on new challenges.Beyond my formal education as a lithographer, I'm largely self-taught. My interests have taken me from programming and electronics to 3D printing, CNC machining and Arduino-based projects.I've always loved cars, although these days I'm increasingly happy to let AI take the wheel.I have a curious mind and rarely accept "that's just the way it is" as an answer. I want to understand why things work the way they do — and whether there's a better way.

Learning by doing. Progress through action.
