I am a robotics and mechanical engineer who likes building things that have to hold up in the real world, not just in a slide deck. When I am off the robot, I am usually shipping one of my own software products.

🤖 Robotics

Project	What it is	Stack
MSc thesis @ Hilti AG (private)	Autonomous navigation and motion planning for a mobile construction robot. 3D perception from multi-LiDAR, elevation mapping, traversability, deployment on embedded hardware.	ROS 2 · Nav2 · LiDAR · Jetson
Lupin	An autonomous greenhouse robot that patrols and keeps a live digital twin of the plants and climate. I built the mission console and the voice agent. (docs)	ROS 2 · Nav2 · MPPI · YOLO
Project Haller	My personal robot, built from the hardware up. URDF, ros2_control over CAN, a vision pipeline, SLAM and Nav2, traversability. Runs in sim and on the real thing.	ROS 2 · Python · Jetson Orin
Drone MPC navigation	RRT and A* global planning written from scratch in a custom city map, with a convex MPC for dodging moving obstacles.	ROS · PyBullet · Python
Taggy	A patrol robot on a Unitree Go2 with threat detection and voice commands. Built in 48 hours at a defence-tech hackathon in Zurich.	ROS 2 · YOLO · LiDAR · RealSense
CenterFusion	LiDAR and radar sensor fusion for 3D object detection. A bidirectional pipeline that sharpens detection of cyclists and pedestrians on the View of Delft dataset.	Python · PyTorch

💻 Software and ventures

Project	What it is	Stack
Anamnesis	A cross-machine memory layer for Claude Code. It captures what the agent learns as plain markdown and keeps it in sync across my machines over Tailscale. Open source, on PyPI.	Python · MCP · Tailscale
Zoteus	An open-source MCP server that lets AI assistants read and write a Zotero reference library. On npm, open-core with a hosted tier at zoteus.com.	TypeScript · MCP · npm
vibeTeX	An MCP server that gives AI assistants hands-on access to LaTeX projects, including ones hosted on Overleaf. A sibling to Zoteus on the same open-core stack.	TypeScript · MCP · OAuth
Rent a Flight	The whole platform for a Belgian flight school: booking, scheduling, digital logbooks, billing on flight hours, plus live weather and NOTAMs. In daily use.	Next.js · TypeScript · Firebase
SheetMates	Collaborative sheet-metal nesting. Upload a DXF, your parts get nested onto shared laser-cutting sheets, and you pay for your slice.	Next.js · TypeScript · Stripe
BrokerMind AI	A vertical AI co-pilot for private-jet charter brokers: pricing, deal analysis and client messaging, grounded in real broker knowledge.	Next.js · TypeScript · LLMs
Portfolio + OPA	My site, with a small AI assistant (OPA) built on Gemini 3.5 Flash: three modes, function calling, streaming.	Next.js · TypeScript · Gemini
