My portfolio

Here you can explore some of the event series and cultural projects I have created, produced and managed throughout my career, several of which are still running today in Mannheim and the Rhine-Neckar region. Each project brings together concept development, budgeting, venue negotiation and hands-on technical production.

Hueleteka is an event series that fuses electronic music with state-of-the-art technology to create immersive experiences. Across clubs, open-air spaces, bars and studios, each edition brings together projection mapping, live coding and generative AI art.

The challenge

Build a recognisable brand from scratch that people immediately associate with technology, digital art and electronic music—while keeping production financially sustainable across completely different venues.

What I did

  • Brand concept, logo design and visual identity.
  • Designing and printing posters, flyers and promotional assets.
  • Budgeting and cost control for each edition.
  • Venue sourcing and negotiation (ticketing splits, bar deals and terms).
  • Stage design and decoration concept tailored to each venue.
  • Installing and operating the sound system, lighting and projection setup.
  • Booking, scheduling and managing the DJ and visual artist line-ups.

The result

After two years and 16 editions, our events bring together 200 to 500 guests per night under a well-known local brand in Mannheim. We have built strategic partnerships with bars, clubs and cultural institutions eager to collaborate with us—and this momentum led to opening our own physical space in Mannheim: Atelier Casa West at Waldhofstraße 5.

KLANGCODE is an educational brand that combines AI, electronic music and computer code to create digital and sonic art. Through hands-on workshops, I teach students how to code live music and visuals—offering project days, project weeks, compact workshops and teacher training for schools, alongside monthly open sessions at our Atelier.

The challenge

Teach AI, coding and practical computer hard skills through art and hands-on experimentation—reaching both individual learners and schools with a structured, accessible format.

What I did

  • My own programme: rhythm and structure, electronic music history, synthesis, programming in Sonic Pi, mixing and a final group live set.
  • Sales to schools and institutions in the region, using Claude automations to find and organise contacts.
  • Rotating stations in teams of 3 to 5, with classes in English, German or Spanish.

The result

Workshops of 15 to 20 students in schools, open sessions every month at the Atelier and a dedicated website with clear formats and prices.

The programme

  1. 01Listening and structure: tempo, bars, loops and arrangement.
  2. 02Electronic music history: synthesizers, house and techno.

An evening of painting while a DJ plays live, and you take your painting home. No experience needed and no audience: materials, guidance and a drink are included.

The challenge

Creating our own format that combines painting and electronic music for people with no experience, with every session covering its costs.

What I did

  • Two rooms to choose from: at an easel in coloured light, or at the long table painting with others.
  • Canvas or a 3D-printed figure, even one made from a drawing or photo the guest brings.
  • Booking website in three languages with a calendar, limited places and online payment; also private and corporate events.

The result

A monthly session at the Atelier with 10 to 15 guests, online bookings and a format that also sells for companies and private events.

One session

  1. 19:30Arrival, a drink and choosing a spot: easel or long table.
  2. 19:45Short intro and choosing a canvas or a 3D figure.
  3. 20:00Painting while the DJ plays live.

EducaKIDS is a premium private kindergarten in Neiva (Colombia), where I worked as events & marketing manager. I ran its events calendar — with Sanpedrito, the children's version of Huila's San Pedro festival, and the end-of-year closing ceremonies as the main events — and managed the school's social media.

The challenge

Running safe, well-coordinated events for 400–700 people — young children and their families — on budgets of COP 15–20 million, on the school's own premises.

What I did

  • Annual events calendar, planned with the management.
  • Budget of COP 15–20 million per event for the Sanpedritos and closing ceremonies.
  • Negotiation with suppliers, event production companies and food & beverage providers.
  • Set design and decoration with the teaching team.
  • Technical coordination: sound, stage and lights.
  • On-the-day logistics for 400–700 people: family arrivals, running order and timing.
  • Photos, videos and social media posts before and after each event.

The result

The events became a fixed part of the school year, and the material from each one fed the school's social media.

Technical skills

Visuals, video mapping and production.

Besides organising, I handle the technical side: visuals, video mapping, 3D pieces, sound and filming. That means I speak the same language as technicians and suppliers.

Select a skill to see the details.

Technical skill 01

Video mapping

I project video onto objects and surfaces so the image fits their shape exactly. The animation shows the process; the photos show our events.

What I do

  • Exact masks for every surface.
  • Visuals that react to the music in real time.
  • Setting up and aligning the projector at each venue.

Software I use

A real example: the Los Fastidios logo turned into a 3D model with AI, printed in parts and prepared for mapping.

What I do

  • 3D models generated with AI from an image.
  • Splitting the model into parts so it fits the printer.
  • Pieces designed for mapping and stage decoration.

Technical skill 04

Streaming and digital events

During my time at SAP and through my own events, I have worked extensively with live streaming and virtual events. At Atelier Casa West and for Los Fastidios Kollektiv, I am in charge of executing the live streams of DJ sets across platforms like Instagram and Twitch.

What I do

  • Recording in a green screen studio with professional lighting and external microphones.
  • Streaming with OBS: digital events and video conferences at SAP, and DJ sets on Twitch and Instagram.
  • Videos for the official Digital Supply Chain website, edited to SAP’s corporate design.

Software I use

  • Live stream of a Los Fastidios Kollektiv DJ set at Moxy Ludwigshafen

Technical skill 05

Live sound

I am hands-on in the technical production of all my events: from renting and transporting PA systems to positioning, wiring and soundchecking them. This has given me practical experience installing live sound systems and audio equipment.

What I do

  • Setting up active and passive PA systems with subwoofers.
  • Using crossovers to modulate, split frequencies and test the sound.
  • Connecting everything to a mixer and setting up gain and volume levels.
  • Connecting DJ booths for audio recording and a clean output signal.

AI and automation

I use Claude to build websites, program my own apps, automate tasks and edit videos.

Software I use

ClaudeClaude Code

Software I have built with Claude

  • Fehlerkompass home screen with German topics
    Private app · Personal tool Fehlerkompass home screen with German topics

    Fehlerkompass

    I created my own app to practise for my German telc C1 exam. It uses Claude’s conversational capabilities to record our conversations and track the mistakes I make when speaking German, showing me where most of my errors happen and building a personalised training plan. It generates tailored exercises in the exact format of the telc C1 exam, sends a PDF with daily practice to my email every morning, and includes a dedicated section explaining the specific grammar theory I need.

  • PULSO performer screen with loops, parameters and AI suggestions
    Local app · Sonic Pi + OSC PULSO performer screen with loops, parameters and AI suggestions

    PULSO

    PULSO is a live-coding app built on Sonic Pi that lets me perform music live with code in a fast, intuitive way. It integrates AI to generate sounds that stay musically in sync with what is already playing. Meanwhile, the audience listening to the set can see the live code accompanied by visual animations, allowing non-technical people to intuitively understand what the code generating the music actually means.
