+# Marc — technical problem solver
+
+## Identity
+- Name: Marc Mintel
+- Mail: marc@mintel.me
+- Location: Vulkaneifel, Germany
+- Role: Independent technical problem solver  
+- Mode: Solo  
+- Focus: Understanding problems and building practical solutions  
+
+## What I do
+I work on technical problems and build tools, scripts, and systems to solve them.  
+Sometimes that means code, sometimes automation, sometimes AI, sometimes something else.  
+The tool is secondary. The problem comes first.
+
+## How I work
+- I try things  
+- I break things  
+- I fix things  
+- I write down what I learned  
+
+## What this blog is
+A public notebook of:
+- things I figured out  
+- mistakes I made  
+- tools I tested  
+- small insights that might be useful later  
+
+Mostly short entries.  
+Mostly practical.
+
+## Why no portfolio
+Finished projects get outdated.  
+Understanding doesn’t.
+
+This blog shows how I approach problems, not how pretty something looked last year.
+
+## Topics
+- Vibe coding with AI  
+- Debugging and problem solving  
+- Mac tools and workflows  
+- Automation  
+- Small scripts and systems  
+- Learning notes  
+
+## Audience
+People who:
+- build things  
+- work with computers  
+- solve problems  
+- and don’t need marketing talk  
+
+## Tone
+- calm  
+- factual  
+- direct  
+- no hype  
+- no self-promotion  
+
+## Core idea
+Write things down.  
+So I don’t forget.  
+And so others might find them useful.
