A person before a portfolio
marioobst.com introduces Mario through communication, curiosity and commitment. Professional experience, voluntary educational work and the pleasure of learning sit beside selected personal projects. The website is available in German and English. It offers a considered introduction to the person behind the many domains, with clear routes into his work and interests.
An existing website, several new beginnings
Mario confirms that marioobst.com was first registered on 7 October 2009. The website was already public when the earliest reviewed maintenance work began on 5 September 2026. That work refined metadata, profile links and technical details. A new visual brief on 21 September led to a locally reviewed and published redesign with warm paper colours, forest-green accents and generous typography. These dates describe documented revisions; the original website’s first launch date is not established by the reviewed records.
A more focused visiting card
On 29 October, Mario chose a fresh direction for the personal website. The new visiting card was conceived, implemented and published that day. It reduced the language choice to German and English and gave the introduction, experience, engagement, private learning projects and contact a clearer order. A burgundy initials seal became a compact signature. Large editorial typography and a restrained palette give the different parts room to breathe.
Experience and imagination share a home
On 30 October, a personal-history section and Mario’s own photograph of the Andreasstraße courtyard were published. A separate Ideas & Creativity section introduced selected photography and playful projects, with further entrances into the wider collection. Mishmash followed with two visual previews and an explanation of experimenting creatively with code. These additions connect the visiting card to deeper accounts and hands-on experiments without turning its introduction into a list of every domain.
A personal selection, openly made
Mario decides how he presents himself, selects the projects and retains editorial responsibility. Aik is his AI assistant, helping with structure, wording, translation, design and implementation. The screenshot records the current German homepage on 6 November 2026, rather than recreating an earlier release. The timeline separates the existing website, its September redesign and the October visiting-card launch.
