Marcos Caprile · near Düsseldorf, Germany
I’m a student, founder, and volleyball coach. I like building things—usually because something around me does not work quite the way I think it should.
Selected projects
The interesting part is rarely the feature list. It is the moment when something in real life becomes difficult enough that I want to build around it.
School → The help existed. Finding it was the problem.
A trusted, school-based place to find tutoring, study groups, and the people who can help.
Volleyball → A club runs on far more than the match schedule everyone sees.
Team planning and attendance for real sports clubs.
Columbia → Five days of Arduino work became a personal command terminal.
RFID, Bluetooth, displays, light, and audio on an UNO R4 WiFi.
Life outside the screen
Volleyball
I play, coach youth teams, and serve as youth coordinator at TV Angermund. The work is practices and matches, but also people, parents, calendars, responsibility, and making a team feel like a team. Years inside that environment eventually became TeamSet.
Why volleyball matters to me →School first aid
I help lead a student first-aid service with roughly 29 active first-aiders. Coordinating duties and communication is real work—which is why SSD Manager is shaped by a real timetable rather than a hypothetical one.
See SSD Manager →A little context
I started teaching myself programming around age eleven. I usually learned a technology because there was something I wanted to make with it—not because I wanted another item for a skills list.
I spent part of my early childhood in Spain and most of my school years in Germany. I attend Kopernikus-Gymnasium Lintorf, expect to complete the Abitur in June 2027, and am most at home in computer science, mathematics, physics—and, quite literally, a volleyball gym.
Right now · August 2026
I’m entering my final Abitur year, working on US college applications, and trying to leave enough room to keep building.

Origin stories, build logs, and thoughts that do not need to become polished essays.
