Marcel, the Maker-Mad Scientist

Software Architect by Day, Mad Scientist by Night

---

Greetings! I am Marcel—the Maker-Mad Scientist—a seasoned software professional with decades of experience. Allow me to share my dual life with you:

The Daytime Chronicles

As the sun rises, I don my virtual lab coat and step into the corporate arena. There, I architect software solutions that with databases, APIs, and microservices. My colleagues affectionately call me “The Mad Scientist” because regardless of the challenge, I can pull together a solution.

But there’s more to my daytime escapades. Enter Microsoft Dynamics 365, the powerhouse of business processes. I design CRM and ERP solutions, ensuring seamless customer experiences and streamlined operations. From customer management, ERP systems, sales pipelines to supply chains, Dynamics 365 is my trusted lab partner.

The Evening Adventures

When the sun sets, another adventure begins. I shed my corporate attire and teleport to the makerspaces—those mystical sanctuaries where imagination runs wild and duct tape holds the universe together. Here, I am no longer bound by mundane constraints; I am free to tinker, create, and occasionally set things on fire (metaphorically, of course).

The Tinkerer’s Toolkit

Electronics Enthusiast: Armed with a soldering iron and a pocket protector, I weave circuits like a digital spider. Arduino boards, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266—I’ve tinkered with them all. My latest creation? A WiFi-enabled Christmas tree that tracks my co-workers Teams status.

3D Printing Virtuoso: My 3D printer hums like a caffeinated hummingbird. From intricate gears to whimsical figurines, I conjure objects into existence. Last week, I printed a miniature Eiffel Tower that doubles as a toothpick holder. Vive la dentistry!

Gadget Alchemist: My garage resembles a cross between Tony Stark’s lab and Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Shelves sag under the weight of half-finished projects: a levitating bonsai tree, a self-aware coffee mug, and a personal teleporter.

The Maker’s Mantra

Maker Mindset: Makerspaces are my creative sanctuaries, where I channel my inner da Vinci. Laser cutters, CNC mills, and 3D printers surround me like loyal familiars. Together, we summon the spirits of creativity, one filament spool at a time.

So, next time you’re at a makerspace, keep an eye out for the bespectacled software sage. I’ll be the one huddled over a soldering station, muttering incantations in Python and dreaming up the next marvel. And remember, behind every line of code lies a spark of invention—courtesy of yours truly, Marcel, the Maker-Mad Scientist!
