Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarcel Stör is a software architect with over two decades of experience building web systems and IoT firmware, currently shaping architecture at ti&m and co-founding ThingPulse until 2024. He blends hands-on embedded development (notably sustained contributions to the popular NodeMCU firmware and tools like nodemcu-pyflasher) with backend and DevOps expertise, shipping reliable build pipelines and device-facing features. A former cabinet-maker apprentice turned computer scientist, he brings a practical, maker-first mindset to engineering and product design. Passionate about clean code and open source, he leads by example while contributing to drivers, device firmware and user-facing IoT projects. Outside software he trains his technical skills toward sustainability—studying photovoltaics and working as a PV planner—applying circular-economy principles to both engineering and environmental stewardship.
