Hi, I am Konstantin #

I’m a Master’s student of Computer Science at HPI and love to learn how the world works.

What I’m up to now #

• Working for Scalable Minds developing Zarr, an open source library for storing large, chunked, compressed N-dimensional arrays.

• Learning CAD and 3D modeling to break out of the digital world and build physical things.

• Trying to catch my thoughts in writing and share them with the world.

Next steps #

• Co-organizing events with Spark, a newly founded student-led club at HPI (Instagram):

  • TRMNL Hackathon (1 July 2026), an e-ink hackathon where teams build a plugin for the TRMNL device. The first one we’re running.

  • Makerthon (this September 2026), a hardware hackathon where teams turn an idea into a working physical prototype over a weekend. Still in planning; in talks with sponsors including NVIDIA, Mitsubishi, Bosch and AWS.

• Finishing the advanced deep learning course.

What I believe in #

• Writing is the best form of self therapy. The physical act of writing forces your non-linear thoughts into a structured pattern and helps you understand yourself better.

• Do what you love. Ignore the noise. The things that pull you without a reason are pointing at something real.

• Discomfort is where growth lives. Sadness, failure, uncertainty really do change who we are. Embrace your feelings and learn from them.
