I'm Timo Weiss, a Master's student in Robotics, Cognition, and Intelligence at TUM, with a Bachelor's in Mechatronics and Information Technology from KIT. I thrive where hardware meets software — designing, building, and testing systems that move, fly, or navigate complex environments.
Over the past years I've gained experience across research, industry, and DIY projects. At Porsche, I developed a test bench for augmented reality head-up displays. At KIT, I contributed to audio-to-LLM pipelines for conversation analysis. As a systems engineer at WARR MOVE, I help design and organize a satellite project. Alongside, I've built autonomous drones, custom control systems, and quirky prototypes like a self-playing church organ.
My technical strengths span Python, computer vision, and deep learning, alongside embedded systems and electronics. I'm comfortable with the hardware details — from interpreting datasheets and working with ICs to building synchronized multi-camera rigs with Raspberry Pis. I'm fluent across the prototyping stack, from soldering, PCB design, and CAD to training and fine-tuning AI models on custom data.
What drives me is solving problems end-to-end: analyzing the challenge, designing a solution, and hacking together components into something tangible and useful. Whether it's drones, AI pipelines for data analysis, or automation projects at home, I aim to make systems that don't just work in theory, but in practice.
When I'm not soldering or coding, I enjoy flying gliders, cycling, or testing the limits of new tech projects.
