About

A practice connecting engineering systems, spatial thinking, and visual communication.

I am a technical-creative practitioner based in Aachen, with a background in construction, robotics, architecture, and engineering-facing visualization.

I studied MSc Construction and Robotics at RWTH Aachen University and BEng Architecture at Shanghai University. My work focuses on translating complex technical systems into interfaces, simulations, and visual media that people can actually use, review, and understand.

The common thread is not a single tool or medium. It is the ability to bridge technical logic and visual clarity, whether the output is an Unreal Engine planning tool, a digital twin interface, a VR walkthrough, or a frontend for monitoring and analysis.

Approach / Practice

I work best on projects that sit between engineering workflows and user-facing communication. That often means combining simulation logic, backend connectivity, and interface design inside one system.

In practice, that can involve Unreal Engine for factory planning and spatial review, Python services for optimization or data processing, and frontend layers that make technical information easier to navigate.

I am especially interested in tools that need to be both operationally useful and visually credible: systems for planning, monitoring, review, training, or technical presentation.

What Connects The Work

  • Digital twins, factory planning interfaces, and simulation systems that support engineering decision-making.
  • VR and interactive 3D environments that improve spatial understanding and technical review.
  • Technical animation and visualization work where motion is essential to explaining a process or system.
  • Engineering-facing frontend and backend tools that connect data pipelines, dashboards, and product interfaces.
