Tobias Janke lives in Northern Germany. He has been experimenting with computers and hardware since he learned to read. He realized several hardware projects and developed small applications at the age of 12. Then, with some more experience, he cofounded a local company that specializes in computer services and web design. As a hobby, he is working on computer-controlled hardware projects featuring embedded programming and sensors. He is currently developing a fully autonomous drone that is controlled by self-made hardware and software running on the BeagleBone Black.
