Less friction. More building.
Engineering manager · Developer tools maker · Ansbach, Germany
I lead Platform Engineering at Tradebyte, where we're building an Internal Developer Platform to help engineering teams ship software with less friction.
Outside work, I build open-source tools for the same reason. I like small, focused utilities. This occasionally escalates into building a shell.
| If you want to… | Take a look at… |
|---|---|
| Turn architecture into diagrams | Sceno — describe it in text, preview locally, export diagrams and slides. Built for humans and AI agents. |
| Keep your todos in your repo | tdx — a terminal todo manager with Vim-style navigation. Your tasks stay in plain Markdown. |
| Ship a CLI as one binary | Kipferl — write Python-style scripts and package them as standalone binaries with fast startup. |
| Explore a different kind of shell | Quirl — familiar Bash commands, typed data pipelines, and Lua extensions. |
Also worth a rabbit hole: speed-comparison, an experiment comparing programming-language performance, and my dotfiles, for the terminal-curious.
Building tools: Go · Rust · Python · TypeScript
