I study Cognitive Science in Tübingen and currently build web apps for medical education at the university hospital. My goal: technology that adapts to people, not the other way round. Run your mouse over the modules.
Hey, glad you're stopping by! My name is Kane and I'm doing my bachelor's in Cognitive Science at the University of Tübingen.
Since June 2026 I've also been working at TIME at the medical faculty, where we develop modern teaching tools, for example involving AI or robotics. Right now I mainly help develop web apps with Django and Tailwind and integrate different LLM providers into our services.
Before that I was at the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien in educational psychology, researching how LLMs can help students stay focused in class.
Personally, I see big opportunities in AI, but I also think it should be used thoughtfully, carefully and responsibly, weighing its actual costs and benefits.
Long term I see myself somewhere between medical informatics, HCI, neuroscience or computational science. What matters most to me is that my work adds social value.
When I'm not at my desk, I'm probably at the gym, doing calisthenics, training for triathlon (very much as an amateur) or bouldering.
I read a lot (mostly sci-fi and fantasy, but also novels and non-fiction), draw, photograph birds and recently gave sewing a try, which is going... okay.
On the side I'm trying my hand at French, Italian, Japanese and Chinese, the last two especially more badly than well. In general I like to start more things than I actually have time for.

I find the complexity of life in general, and especially of the human body and brain, really fascinating. How, for example, do a few billion nerve cells give rise to our subjective experiences and the sense of a coherent “I”? What can we do when something in our body gets out of balance? And to what extent could technological progress offer new impulses and solutions there (e.g. pacemakers)?

For me, maths isn't just a tool, but an alternative way of looking at the world in general. From the very small to the very large, almost everything can be described by a formula. What interests me most here is dynamical systems, and I'd love to dig into them a lot more.

Gym, calisthenics, triathlon, climbing: training is my favourite self-experiment on the connection between body and mind. After a long day, few things help me as much as a run through the forest or lifting some heavy weights. Of course I also pay attention to the data behind it: how does a hard session change my focus the next day? What actually helps with recovery?

I don't learn languages because I love grammar so much, but because every new language makes you think a little differently and suddenly lets you talk to completely different people. Every language opens a door into a whole other world, with new books, cultures and beautiful cities. Among them, for example, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore (briefly my second home), Shenzhen and Budapest.
Web apps with Django and Tailwind for TIME, the teaching institute of the Tübingen medical faculty. Also part of the team behind a chat app for medical students that connects to LLM providers (AI language models from different companies).
Python web app (Flask) that calculates training load from logged workouts. Alongside, it records how each session felt, meaning energy, soreness and motivation.

Solo UX project during my exchange semester at NUS Singapore. App concept that shows young adults how their screen time relates to their mood.

UX project in a team of four during my exchange semester at NUS Singapore. App concept that lets friend groups plan meetups, vote on who's free when, and collect memories afterwards.

Group project at Uni Tübingen on ARC-AGI, an AI test made of visual puzzles that are easy for humans and hard for AI. My part was 7 puzzle generators and a tool that turns existing puzzles into harder variants.
New projects will show up here once there's something to show.
Since mid-June 2026 I've been working at TIME, the Tübingen Institute for Medical Education at the medical faculty. I build and maintain web apps there with Django and Tailwind. I'm also part of the team behind a chat app for med students that connects to several different LLM providers. Can't show much of it yet, but it's honestly really fun to work on something that's meant for real medical teaching.
Every training app I tried tracks numbers but completely ignores how a workout actually felt. So I built my own. The app calculates training load from the workouts, once long-term over several weeks (CTL), once short-term over the last few days (ATL), and the difference between the two (TSB), which roughly shows how recovered you are. These numbers sit right next to how I felt, meaning energy, soreness and motivation. That gives me a more complete picture of what different kinds of training do to me, and lets me try out which visualisations actually help. So far the app can do the following:
Coming soon:
A solo UX project from my exchange semester at NUS Singapore. Ember is an app concept that helps young adults understand how their screen time actually makes them feel. The app doesn't block anything or make you feel guilty. It just shows you, honestly and kindly, what your patterns are.

Complete · 2025A UX project with a team of four from my exchange semester at NUS Singapore. The idea behind it: in lots of group chats someone says "we should do something", but it rarely happens. So in Frendzy you can suggest plans, poll who's free, see who's coming, and keep the memories in one place afterwards.

Complete · 2025A group coding project at Uni Tübingen extending the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC-AGI), a benchmark for general intelligence made of visual puzzles that feel obvious to humans but are surprisingly hard for AI. Our team added new puzzle generators, meaning programs that automatically create new puzzles following a rule. I wrote 7 of them from scratch and built a tool that tiles existing puzzles to make them harder.

The lab: this is where I build small, interactive experiments about things that interest me.
This is where I try my hand at all kinds of topics, from cognitive science to history. Since I can't always keep every piece of information up to date, please use it for entertainment only! Other than that, have fun with the interactive experiments.

Next up: my CV.
Exchange semester at NUS Singapore (Interaction Design). Focus on neuromodulation & neuroplasticity, ML / information theory, and HCI.
Advanced courses in Maths, English (award) and Physics. DEAR EU #ClimateOfChange debate 2021.
Building and maintaining web apps with Django and Tailwind CSS. Helping develop a chat app for medical students with multiple LLM providers integrated.
Educational psychology research on AI in education: study design, data analysis in R, literature reviews, and building LLM pipelines to explore how AI can help students stay engaged.
Supported kids with special educational needs in a day-care group: daily routines, learning and conflict resolution. Also ran my own projects.
Spectral analysis of plastic samples to improve automated recycling classification systems.
Bars roughly by CEFR: A1 to C2, Japanese and Chinese by JLPT and HSK.
Got an idea, a project, a book recommendation or just feel like chatting? Feel free to write me, I'm always up for a good conversation. I don't bite :)
