Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMoritz Plattner is an electrical CAD designer and physicist with nine years of hands-on experience designing and certifying PCBs for custom and commercial keyboards and embedded devices. He blends rigorous academic training (MSc in Physics) with practical certifications (CID, ZED II) to shepherd products from schematic to CE/FCC-compliant production. Moritz is a prolific open-source contributor to the QMK ecosystem, adding support and custom features for numerous popular layouts and boards, and often publishes hobby electronics as open hardware on GitHub. Comfortable both in detailed reverse-engineering for hardware reviews and in firmware-level customization, he thrives on solving cross-disciplinary problems at the intersection of electronics, embedded systems, and product engineering. Based in the Dolomites region, he channels curiosity into mountain biking, dirtbiking, and custom mechanical keyboard design—skills that feed back into his rapid prototyping and user-focused hardware work.
