Luis Dehlwes
Mechanical engineer who blends manufacturing R&D, applied AI and full-stack building, and runs it all on one system of his own.
A surfboard with a jet drive.
The build that hooked me. My first deep dive into 3D design and printing: a water-jet drive around a brushless motor, fully self-developed, designed in CAD, printed part by part, and ridden. “I could build that” has not let go since.
See the buildCeramic thrusters, printed and fired.
My first real contact with high-performance engineering and advanced materials: porous ceramics for clean in-space propulsion, taken from material preparation through DLP printing all the way to high-temperature testing at the University of Stuttgart's IKMT.
Read the researchMy own cloud, governed.
At some point I stopped renting other people's platforms and built my own. A Tailscale-meshed fleet, run by my deployment platform Nexus, exposes every operation as a capability with a risk class, so I and my AI agents operate the same infrastructure, safely.
Tour the systemApps that ship end to end.
Software began out of necessity, since every project needed it, and became a discipline of its own, with AI woven through: Legacy AI preserves organizational knowledge through AI interviews, Pulse turns Fitbit data into a personal Whoop, FinanceOS runs my money.
See the appsDesigning radial turbomachinery.
Now the properly scientific chapter: models for radial compressor and turbine stages that plug into DLR's engine preliminary-design tools, so helicopter-engine concepts can be evaluated thermodynamically from day one.
Follow the thesisOne system. Many outputs.
Hardware, research, software and the infrastructure underneath, all built and run by one person, with AI as a governed co-operator.
