Projects ​

INFO

This page lists selected projects I have been involved in throughout my career, spanning research initiatives, industrial applications, and open-source contributions.

I host and maintain my active open-source projects on my Forgejo instance at git.baer.one. I see open source as essential shared infrastructure, and believe maintainers deserve recognition and sustainable support. See the initiative to recognize open-source work as volunteering in Germany.
