I am a curious person, interested to learn. After my career as a scientist in academia, I have started a company to develop better diagnostics for infectious diseases. I share my experience in startup life with other entrepreneur that have started on their journey by coaching and advising. I can be hired to do bioinformatic analyses. You can see the full spectrum of my current offerings on the dedicated services page.

I started this website in 2012. My main reason was to have my own domain, so I could have my own email address and not be tied to any email provider. So I could ditch googlemail, which I did right after. In fact this website is all about digital ownership and self hosting. I even created a dedicated website around this topic: wolkoid.de (in german and by now outdated).

This website has taught me a lot about web technologies, web design and self hosting. I encourage everybody to have their own presence on the web.

On this website I run a blog about topics that interest me: programming, technology, data sovereignty and many more.

See here for what I am currently focusing on.

I enjoy programming in scheme, more specifically the R6RS dialect:

• klecs: a R6RS implementation of an Entity-Component-System framework geared towards game development
• contributing to the Guix package manager
• a bioinformatic library for scheme, not yet released to the public

I like to design things, particularly when I can combine 3D printing with electronics:

• illuminated letters activated by a movement sensor: See here
• building my own 3d printer: See here

I design my own keyboards. See here and here. I am currently working on a hall effect keyboard where most of the switches are 3d printed as well.
