    From a small town in Mecklenburg (Northern Germany), surrounded by mostly forests and lakes, with my head always in the clouds and interested in every book I could get my little hands on. I’ve gone from studying mechanical engineering, history, classical archaeology, to now finally trying to finish my degree in informatics.  

    While working IT at Radbahn Berlin to finance my studies, I met Sara and later  joined her project. Now I’m teaching myself electrical engineering, endlessly tinkering with things, and trying to be useful while learning along the way.  

    I also help seniors at a local library and am part of a nonprofit trying to improve Berlin.

Acronym: E.A.G.E.L. Aerostat, Giving Electronics a Lift
English “eagle” homophone to German “Igel” = “hedgehog”
What better animal to associate with a balloon-lifted aerial camera than a near-blind spiky little critter?
