The workshop moves; this panel follows it automatically — repositories, languages and public activity included.

• Evidence before claims. Tests, provenance and reproducible artifacts should support what a README says.
• Over State of the Art by default. “Good enough” is a release decision, not an engineering philosophy.
• Deterministic where it matters. Core decisions should come from explicit rules and traceable facts whenever possible.
• KISS outside. Assurance inside. Complexity belongs behind the user-facing surface; critical boundaries get stronger assurance when the architecture benefits from it.

If the UI looks simple, someone probably suffered in the architecture first.

Ada/SPARK is my primary engineering language. I use it where correctness matters enough to justify stronger guarantees — not because every component needs SPARK, and not because language byte counts define architectural importance.

I would rather prove an invariant than explain later why “that should never happen” happened.

I still use C#, Python, JavaScript and whatever else fits the job. Critical correctness is simply not where I like to negotiate.

I came to software from the physical world: precision mechanics, industrial electronics, aircraft-technology studies, military service and a suspicious amount of self-teaching. That background shaped how I approach software: tolerances, measurements, failure modes, maintainability and systems first — syntax second.

• Precision Mechanic (Feinwerkmechaniker) — completed German vocational qualification.
• Electronics Technician for Industrial Engineering (Elektroniker für Betriebstechnik) — completed German IHK vocational qualification.
• State-Certified Technician program in Mechanical Engineering — Aircraft Technology specialization (Technikerlehrgang Maschinenbau, Schwerpunkt Luftfahrzeugtechnik) — Technische Fachschule Heinze, Hamburg; 13 of 24 full-time months completed; no qualification awarded.
• 23 months of voluntary military service in the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr).
• Autodidact by habit — largely self-taught in software engineering, security research, digital forensics, OSINT and systems work.
• Languages: Polish (native) · German (fluent / native-level) · English (very good).

Formal education helped. So did a suspicious amount of self-teaching — and, apparently, 9th-grade Realschule Technik-AG.

GitHub is where the workshop became software — and the measurements stayed.

I approach systems with the same mindset I use to build them: preserve evidence, bind claims to sources, separate observation from inference, and make important state reproducible.

Focus: AI systems · agent tooling · digital forensics · OSINT · provenance

I am the Founder & Mod of r/MAYHEMClub, a creator-first workshop for indie devs, modders, open-source builders and people shipping wonderfully weird things.

Build cool shit. Share it. Get real feedback.

Simple outside. Technically unpleasant to copy inside. 😎
