one engineer · ingolstadt
I'm an engineer in Ingolstadt who can't leave a broken process alone. Not a design agency, not a software house — just someone who builds the tool that should already exist, then hands it over so completely that the people using it never need me again. files over apps, process before product, ownership without lock-in.
It started a little after 10pm. The meetings were behind me, the ice cream with my daughters was already a sticky memory, dinner was done, and the house had finally gone quiet. I wanted to write something down — not to keep it, just to say it. To vent, the way 2014 Twitter used to let you, before the timeline learned to argue back. I went looking for the app that would feel like that. None of them did. So I built it. That became nota — and nota became lab22.
I trained as a mechanical engineer, which mostly means I learned to look at a thing that doesn't work and ask why before asking who to call. I'm a father now, not the undergraduate still working out where he fits — but the reflex never left. When the right tool doesn't exist, I build it. The same instinct behind a journaling app for quiet bedrooms has since built trackers, dashboards, and maps that run, today, inside large manufacturing companies. lab22 is where both kinds of work live, held to one standard: precise, documented, and yours to keep.
