skAInet Edge-Compute: The Box We Kept Rebuilding Now Has a Product Page

Auto-Intern's skAInet Edge-Compute is now a product with its own site: a sealed M12-PoE switch, router and 8-core Linux compute module for industrial edge data acquisition. What it is, where it came from, and where I fit in.

A Hill I Am Willing to Die On: HDL for PCB Netlists

Schematics are not where PCB design should start. Netlists should be generated from a structured hardware description language, and that changes everything about how AI fits into the picture.

Physics, Math, or Engineering? How do you decide

What is the real difference between physics, mathematics, and engineering — and how do you choose the right degree? A personal account from someone who studied all three.

A Database Is Not an API

Why we never expose a database directly — how to layer FastAPI, Keycloak, and PostgreSQL for clean access control, testable endpoints, and a stable client interface.

Ten Years of PowerSense: Blood, Sweat, and Ferrite Cores

How we built a non-contact PoE power monitor for DB Netz railway switching stations — ten years of E-field sensing, embedded ferrite cores, EMC certification, and the hardware lessons that shaped everything since.

PCB Design Starts With a README

Before opening KiCad, create a README and let an LLM generate a PlantUML block diagram. Why writing design intent first prevents costly PCB mistakes — with a worked STM32F7 example.

Getting Started: From Tape-Out to TypeScript

Stephan Bökelmann writes about monitoring systems, embedded engineering, ASIC development, and university-level programming — from silicon to frontend. First post: what this blog covers and why.
