About Me
Hey, I'm Knabbiii! 👋
Who I Am
I'm Knabbiii, finishing up my apprenticeship as IT Systems Integration Specialist at Gameforge in Karlsruhe, Germany, final exams are just around the corner. Been coding for about 7 years now. Started when I got really into hosting Minecraft servers and kept looking for plugins that did exactly what I wanted but couldn't find them, so I just learned to code and made them myself. That's basically how I got into all of this.
I'm an ADHD autistic nerd who jumps between hobbies constantly, which honestly keeps things fun. Everything I make is open source because I believe in sharing knowledge. My career goal? Work less, earn more. The dream, right?
Fair warning: I'm only a little good at most things, except maybe Minecraft PvP. I've kinda ruined my creativity by relying too much on Google and Claude, so my biggest goal right now is getting that creativity back.
What I Do
💻 Development
I build web apps, Discord bots, and Minecraft plugins. JavaScript is my go-to because it's clean and easy to read. SpawnElytra is probably my proudest plugin so far.
🎮 Gaming & Streaming
Minecraft is #1, but I also play horror games, PvP stuff, and honestly a bit of everything. Been streaming on Twitch for years, still going though irregularly. Life gets busy, but I genuinely enjoy it whenever I sit down to do it.
🏠 Home Automation
My Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant is my favorite thing in the apartment. Up to 20 smart devices now, including smart heating I set up myself. I also built a wall-mounted dashboard that ties everything together. Always looking for the next excuse to automate something.
🖨️ 3D Printing
Picked up 3D printing after moving and I love it. Got myself a Bambu Lab A1 Combo and honestly it fits right in. It pairs perfectly with home automation, always printing mounts, enclosures, and random useful stuff.
🎵 Music & Other Stuff
I play piano (since I was 8), guitar (found one in my attic and just started), and ukulele (bought my gf one and now I play it too). None of it professionally, just simple chords and singing. My girlfriend introduced me to Twenty One Pilots and I'm obsessed now. Actually got my first and only tattoo because of them. Matching with my gf, it's the Twenty One Pilots logo. She opened my eyes about this band and I love her for it. Also like squash and table tennis when I have time.
My Journey
Music Production
Used to release music on Spotify, but I stopped paying for distribution in 2025 since I wasn't making anything new and definitely not making money from it. Maybe I'll get back to it someday.
The One Thing I'm Actually Good At
Minecraft PvP. That's it. Everything else I do? Only a little good at it. But that's fine. I'd rather be decent at many things than great at just one.
Personal Growth
I'm not as creative as I might look. I feel like I've relied too much on Google and Claude, and my biggest goal right now is to rebuild my creativity and think more independently.
