IT consultant based in Berlin. Infrastructure, automation, and the tools that make daily work faster — preferably from a terminal.

Currently maintaining a two-project split keyboard family — one full layout and one minimalist variant sharing the same layer architecture:

• Cadence — 34-key Ferris Sweep, the daily driver and primary project. Tap-Dance carrier patterns on Spc/Tab solve HRM-blocking issues that surface in conventional Miryoku-style layouts. Colemak-DH · Tap Dance HRM · 11 reachable layers · bilateral access · L1 International with direct umlaut Tap Dances · L7 Code & CLI · L8 Tiling WM · L12 Symbols · L11 Firmware safety layer · Vial/QMK 34 keys. Two thumbs less. Same rhythm.

• Sonata — 28-key minimalist variant of Cadence. Same Colemak-DH base philosophy, same layer architecture, same Tap Dance HRM — only the Base layer differs (no pinky column). Cadence's L1 Overflow (Q/X mirrors) and L12 Symbols (, . / ' backup) were designed to make this work: every character is reachable on Sonata's reduced grid through the shared layer system. Runs on Ferris Sweep hardware as well — the inner column is simply left unprogrammed. For users who want Cadence's design but on a smaller footprint.

• Cadenza (predecessor, archived) — 36-key Corne Choc. The original layout that established the design philosophy: Colemak-DH base, Tap Dance HRM, Frequency+Strength symbol ranking. Cadence is the spiritual successor — same principles, refined for the smaller Sweep form factor. Kept available for users of 36-key Corne hardware.
