Life Beyond Code

German Car Enthusiast

Outside of work, I enjoy wrenching on Mercedes and BMWs, tackling everything from diagnostics and preventative maintenance to repairs and OEM-plus upgrades. Not a certified mechanic by any means 😅 — just a Mercedes & BMW enthusiast who enjoys diagnostics, maintenance, repairs, and OEM+ upgrades in my spare time.
