About

"Not all energy escapes entropy, but every effort builds progress."

My name is Frederic Brüning, and I'm a self-taught artisan and passionate engineer with a lifelong curiosity for how things work. My journey began in my father's workshop, exploring circuit boards and computers, and grew into a career of designing, building, and improving systems—from software and AI to electronics and IoT. I thrive on turning ideas into practical solutions that bridge creativity and technology.

I believe in clean, maintainable code and continuous learning. When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies or working on creative projects. Feel free to browse my projects or read my blog posts to see what I've been up to.
