About Me

I'm an electronics engineer. In my daily job I work on boring things like passenger information systems,
designing SoCs [System on Chips], trying to make analog and digital circuits follow the path I want them to take.
My interest in electronics started when I was 10 years old, when my dad showed me how to build an LED mannequin on some protoboard.
From that moment on, I was hooked and started reading books and magazines about electronics,
going through the catalogues of Conrad and Reichelt while sitting in the bathtub, imagining all the cool projects I wanted to try out.
My professional carreer brought me to become an electronics engineer, specializing in PCB Design, with right now 15+ years experience for example in [but not limited to]:
- Metrology
- Power Analysis
- Analog & Digital Circuitry
- Repair and Restauration of vintage Tech
At Tinkertubes Lab I let my inner child play a bit, to get my mind free of the sometimes hard and exhausting tasks of my daily job. Therefore I have absolutely no intention to make this a very serious website, its just my playground where I showcase Ideas and projects that come to my mind. The viewer is encouraged to think himself about the things I publish, and it is expected that common sense is available, accessible and known to function.
