The Makerspace.
Where ideas become hardware. No customer, no deadline, no ticket. Just an idea, a workbench, a soldering iron, and the stubborn refusal to buy something I could build myself.

A cheap ESP8266 that listens to the grinder and watches the grounds container, so the machine reminds me to clean it and reveals who made the last cup.

The house is part of the makerspace
Beyond the showcase projects, my smart home is a permanent construction site in the best sense: Self-built automations, sensors in every corner, and routines that quietly make everyday life easier. And ideas for the next build are never in short supply.
