I'm Tom Segbers. I build payment infrastructure, embedded vision, and product systems whose interfaces explain themselves.

Hammer Robotics: Building Mark I for Airport Baggage HandlingI founded Hammer Robotics to automate heavy logistics work with embodied AI. Our Mark humanoid prototype targets airport baggage handling and is preparing pilots with three major German airports.
I / Case files
Four case files that show the range: humanoid robotics, a creator-platform exit, embedded vision, and agent orchestration.
I founded Hammer Robotics to automate heavy logistics work with embodied AI. Our Mark humanoid prototype targets airport baggage handling and is preparing pilots with three major German airports.
I built ClosedLoopOS, an open-source TypeScript platform that turns business processes into YAML SOPs and assigns them to AI agents with an operational dashboard.
I co-founded LAYZR and served as CTO, building a creator loyalty platform that reached 100k+ monthly users and was acquired by Jodel.
For my bachelor thesis, I built ISeeUNet, a modified U-Net trained on hybrid real and synthetic datasets for real-time change detection on Nvidia Jetson NX hardware.
II / Capabilities
I work across the layers that make a product trustworthy: data, interfaces, deployment, and the quiet decisions in between.
Service boundaries, data flows, and the unglamorous glue that keeps a product predictable.
Interfaces that make complex state legible, work by keyboard, and stay fast under real content.
Pragmatic architecture, observability, and release paths that do not depend on heroics.
Working close enough to the problem to know which complexity is necessary and which is theatre.
III / Dispatches
Notes from the workbench: homelabs, automation, and the occasional recipe.
The next step for LLM agents is an operating environment with durable state, checkable outcomes, isolation, failure semantics, and human gates at the points that cannot be undone. A better prompt does not supply any of that.
Read dispatchVersion four keeps Unraid's hand-edited state reviewable, testable, and recoverable without pretending the appliance is NixOS. The change is a smaller diff, not another stack of containers.
Read dispatchI expected a package manager and found a way to describe three machines as one reviewable system. The learning curve was real; so was the payoff.
Read dispatchIV / Next
If you have a system that needs to be clearer, faster, or more dependable, I would like to hear about it.
Bring the problem.
