Ingo Richter

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.
