Human Factors Engineer · Germany

designing for people
building the hardware
they actually use

Engineering psychology meets embedded systems. I take ideas from research and concept through firmware, CAD and interface — all the way to a working product.

“People ignore design that ignores people.”

01 — About

Psychology on paper,
solder on the bench.

I'm a Human Factors Engineer with a Bachelor's in Engineering Psychology, currently finishing my Master's in Germany. What I enjoy most is the whole arc: research the people, design the interaction, then actually build the hardware, firmware and software that makes it real.

ESP32 and Arduino, CAD, UI/UX — all grounded in how people really behave around the things we build.

04 — Testimonials

What people say after shipping together.

Robin turned a fuzzy usability problem into a working prototype in two weeks. The research was rigorous and the hardware just worked.
Dr. Lena FischerResearch Lead, Human Factors Lab
Rare combination: someone who can run a proper usability study and then solder the board that fixes the findings.
Marco ReinhardtProduct Manager, Medtech Startup
Clear communication, fast iterations, and documentation our engineers actually enjoyed reading.
Sofia AlmeidaDesign Director, Industrial Studio

05 — FAQ

Questions, answered.

Human factors research, usability testing, and end-to-end hardware prototyping — from study design to a working ESP32 or Arduino based device.

Both. I usually start with research to frame the problem, then design, build and test the prototype so the findings turn into something tangible.

Figma and eye tracking for research, Fusion 360 and 3D printing for enclosures, and Python, C/C++ and Git for the software side.

Yes — freelance projects, collaborations and research roles. The fastest way to reach me is by email.
