VIVE-Tracked Robotic Bricklaying on Site

1,430 bricks, 52 layers, double-curved — a mobile UR10 sequenced through a wall larger than its own reach

Realtime HTC VIVE tracking locates the on-site UR10 relative to the double-curved wall for precise robotic fabrication.

ABOUT

How I got into software

I build AI-powered platforms and the interfaces that make them usable — which usually means caring as much about the visualization layer as about the pipeline behind it.

I like owning the whole path: the data model, the API, the interface, and the moment someone actually uses it. MenuGen went from a Figma file to production that way.

I came to all of it from architecture and robotic fabrication at ETH Zürich, which is still how I think about building — real constraints, real users, and systems that work outside the demo.

Outside work: Zürich's hiking trails, an ongoing campaign to befriend the neighbourhood cats, and German that lands somewhere between ordering coffee and giving directions.
