What is noahdoersing.com?

Updated

noahdoersing.com is the personal website of Noah Doersing, a media informatics graduate from the University of Tübingen. It serves as a hub for his profile, open-source projects, generative art, photography, and CV. If you're looking for his work, writing, or ways to get in touch, this is the central entry point.

Who is Noah Doersing?

According to the site's About section, Noah recently completed a Master's degree in media informatics at the University of Tübingen and now works at SüdWestStrom, where he says he "makes computers go b r r r r r r." His stated interests span:

  • Open-source software development
  • Generative art using software and hardware
  • Photography, particularly of birds
  • Independent music
  • OpenStreetMap contributions
  • Walking, cycling, and growing chilis

What can you find on the site?

The site is organized around a few main sections:

Section What it covers
About Personal introduction and interests
Projects Open-source and personal software projects
Generative Art Artwork created with software and hardware
Photography Bird and other photography, shared via a site called Rarefied Pixels
CV Professional and academic background

Notable projects

The Projects section lists several ongoing and completed works:

  • Rammertblick (pending release) — A directory of landmarks, huts, springs, and other sights in the Rammert forest region of Southern Germany, combining walking, photography, coding, and local history. A teaser page is already live, with full publication planned as a static site under an open license, possibly around mid-2026.
  • osm2svg4art (2025) — A single-page application that takes an address, pulls nearby roads and paths from OpenStreetMap via the Overpass API, and converts them into a color-coded SVG suitable for plotting on an AxiDraw pen plotter. It was originally built for a pen plotter postcard exchange.
  • nyum (2021–present) — A simple Pandoc-powered static site generator for recipe collections.

Where else does he publish?

Beyond the main site, Noah maintains a blog called Excessively Adequate, where he writes about programming topics such as infinite Bash history, adjusting macOS system volume from the command line, drawing the Sierpiński Triangle with recursive SQL and SVG, and isomorphisms between integers and composite types in Haskell. He also links to his code on Codeberg (with older work on GitHub), posts on Mastodon (mirrored on Bluesky), and shares photography on Rarefied Pixels.
