About me

Hey! I'm Jonas, but online you mostly find me under joinity.

I'm a computer science graduate from Germany. I enjoy creative tasks and solving complex problems in a wholistic manner. My curiosity lead me to a lot of advanced knowledge in Gaming, Design, Marketing, Ideation, Animation, Programming, AI, Cryptography, Electronics, 3D Printing and much more!

I have strong interest in everything regarding technological advancements and everything digital. Nevertheless, I also love to get my hands dirty with things like crafting, tinkering, painting and experimenting with all kinds of materials. My INTP/ENTP personality leads me to explore new things quiet often.

What i'm doing

    Design

    I enjoy great playful designs and love working on anything design wise. I design a variety of icons, 2D game-assets, 3D designs and lot's of stuff for webdesign.

  • Web development icon

    Programming

    While originally I studied computer science with a focus on IoT and on Game Design, I am more comfortable thinking about execution and mechanics, rather than pure coding. However, I find my way around in most codebases and can adapt quickly.

    Development

    During my carreer at Ravensburger, I created several original concepts for kids, including several toddler books with embedded electronics. Alongside I supported purely analog products like GraviTrax, where I developed several Action-Stones and more.

    Creativity

    Over the past decade I worked on several personal projects around the topics of: Gaming, Digital Collectibles, Youtube Channels, B2C Stores, Event Technology Rental and more! Check out a selection below or on the Portolio tab!

Personal Projects

  • Digital Ducks

    Digital Ducks - Digital Collectibles

    Digital Ducks may be your new favorite collectibles on the block(chain). Collect them, trade them, but be careful! The chances of getting killed by a Digital Duck are low, but never zero. I created this Project back in early 2021 and it has become a great success.

    With more than 250 Collectibles and over 4000 Collectors later, it is a well established Brand in the WAX Blockchain Ecosystem.

  • Pokémon Legends

    Pokémon Legends - Warcraft 3 Game

    Pokémon Legends is the evolution of the famous Warcraft 3 Map Pokémon Defense, which was originally created more than 15 Years ago by "you dont know" and then remixed by "FeverMore".
    With several updates and improvements, Pokémon Legends delivered on the promise to be competitive with a strong learning curve, but still can be played casually with friends. With the anticipated release of Warcraft 3 Reforged, we relesed this WC3 Game-Map in 2019 and developed it to the most community-loved Auto Brawler in Warcraft 3 Reforged!

    This Project was released under the name of "Team 808" which consists of my friend Raphael and me. I developed several visuals for the game as well as handled all of the Community Management, Website and a Dex-App (deprecated) for looking up stats of every Pokemon. By today the Game-Map was hosted over 80 thousand times and recieved 11 mayor updates with an average rating of 4.4 Stars.

  • PLYMORA

    PLYMORA - Etsy Online Shop

    Welcome to PLYMORA! Dive into unique CNC designs tailored for laser-cutting lovers and 3D Printers alike. Seeking something special? We craft custom CNC masterpieces just for you!

    With PLYMORA I created a brand to sell some designs that I created mostly for myself. As I own several 3D Printers as well as a shared CNC Laser, I started this Shop just for the learning experience on Etsy, wich I plan to use for a more advanced shop in the future.

  • Youtube Channel TSM

    Themed Sleep Meditation - YouTube Channel

    Welcome to Themed Sleep Meditation, where each slumber is a journey into your favorite worlds. Our guided meditations blend the beloved narratives of popular anime or movies with the tranquil art of mindfulness to create a unique bedtime experience.

    With this YouTube Channel I wanted to create something unique for the trend of wellbeing. I am a vivid fan of Anime's and Sleep meditations, so I thought why not combine these topics? Sleep with the Strawhats from One Piece, in the World of Hogwarts. Combining a traditional sleep meditation with a themed topic is the goal.

  • Barack Bebop

    Barack Bebop - Experimental Album

    Barack Bebop was founded as an alter ego for a music project, which I use to experiment with AI assisted music generation and overall marketing tactics. It is serving as a state of the art example and should not undermine real musical creativity. I also used it to learn about music distribution and self publishing knowledge, as well as social promotion and social media ads for music in preparation for helping a friend release his original music.
