Hi, I’m Ingo — software engineer, tinkerer, and someone who has automated enough things to know that automation always takes longer than you think.

I’ve spent the last couple of decades writing software, building SDKs, and helping teams ship things they’re proud of. These days I mostly live in TypeScript and Rust. I have opinions about CI pipelines, clean code, and the right way to organize a project — though I’ve been wrong enough times to hold them loosely.

When I’m not staring at a terminal, I’m probably designing something for the laser cutter or 3D printer, watching a pen plotter draw something I sketched, chasing light with a camera, or out on my lovely titanium road bike pretending I’m faster than I am.

This is where I share what I’m building, what broke, what I figured out, and what I’m still figuring out. Pull up a chair.

As I have mentioned in the previous Wallpaper post, I spent some time with my family on the island of Kaua’i. We heard from some locals, that there is a beach in Poʻipū where the sea turtles leave the ocean behind in the evening to crawl up the beach to rest. They don’t care about the people on the beach. They just lay down and rest. Luckily, there is always a Ranger to place some traffic cones in a wide circle around the sea turtles to protect them from people who like to get close for a selfie. But there are also a lot of people watching those giants with admiration and respect without getting too close to the resting creatures.
