Get In Touch
If you’ve made it this far, we are already in friendship (or close to that) territory.
Whether it’s a project, a question, a collaboration, a book recommendation, a photo-related rabbit hole, or simply a note from one curious human to another - I’m always open to hearing from interesting people with interesting ideas.
Not every message leads to a grand alliance. Some become conversations. Some become work. Some become long email threads about cameras, books, and why modern software feels spiritually haunted. Sadly some becomes enormous regret.
All are welcome.
The Practical Ways
The best place for:
- project ideas
- career opportunities
- writing invitations
- collaboration proposals
- long-form messages that deserve more than a three-word DM and a shrug
If your message includes what you want, why me, and what “good” looks like, we are already ahead of most of the internet.
Phone
📱 +49 1724 212395
Useful when:
- it’s urgent
- it’s real
- it cannot be solved by 19 back-and-forth emails
- you are a known human and not a suspicious robot with “investment opportunity” energy
If I miss the call, a short text with context helps a lot.
Unknown numbers without context are brave, but not always effective.
Elsewhere / Other Worlds
For quick notes, casual hellos, or platform-specific chaos, you can also find me across the internet.
➡️ See Other Worlds
That’s where the social links, public work, experiments, photos, and assorted digital hauntings live.
DMs are fine for:
- quick questions
- casual conversation
- “I saw this and thought of your weird website” messages
For anything substantial, email still wins.
Location
📍 Germany
(Usually Berlin-ish in spirit, geography, and mild weather complaints.)
I’m occasionally open to (if time permits):
- coffee conversations
- creative chats
- tech conversations that don’t sound like LinkedIn wrote them
- wandering discussions about books, photography, software, AI, or why suddenly we need to buy 5 different AI tool subscriptions
Response Rhythm
⏳ Usually within 24–72 hours
Sometimes faster.
Sometimes life, work, family, and the general collapse of modern attention spans intervene.
If I haven’t replied after a few days, a gentle follow-up is completely fine.
Polite persistence is underrated.
If You’re Reaching Out About Work
A short message works best when it includes:
- What the project is
- What you need from me
- Timeline
- Budget (or at least a range)
- Why you think I’m a fit
- What success looks like
This saves both of us from the ancient ritual of six emails before the actual question appears.
Things I’m Usually Happy To Talk About
- software engineering and system design
- developer experience and engineering culture
- automation, AI, and sensible tooling
- writing, books, reading, and literary detours
- photography, cameras, visual storytelling
- creative side projects that probably should not exist, but do
Final Note
If you’re writing because something on this site resonated - a line, a photo, a page, a project, a half-finished idea pretending not to be important - then that already means the site did its job.
Write!
I’ll read!
