THE TECH STORYTELLER / MEDIA KIT / 27 OCTOBER 2026
Engineering stories.
Growing audiences.
I’m Lukas Timm, a mechanical engineer and filmmaker. I turn robotics, sensors and complex technology into stories people can see, follow and share.
Captured 27 October 2026. Each platform’s reporting window is specified below. Views and impressions are not unique people; channel totals are not added together.
01 / INSTAGRAM / @LKSTIMM2026
A new audience
is finding the work.
100,043 views in the native last-30-day dashboard. 99.5% came from non-followers. The experiments are travelling well beyond the account’s 176 followers.
THE RECENT BREAKOUT / 19 OCTOBER
Why my CO₂ Roadster loses lift.
A small simulated flying-car concept makes gas cooling and pressure loss visible. Four proposed changes give viewers a concrete engineering question to discuss.
Native reel insights also show 29,967 viewers, 412 likes and 34 comments. These are lifetime observations captured on 27 October.
Watch the reel ↗The flight is simulation in my reconstructed dojo, with my AI voice. The underlying experiment and its limits stay visible.
More recent Instagram examples and follower evidence
The 2 kg Roadster concept · 32.7K views in the native top-content card. Five robots across the price ladder · 2.1K views in the same native snapshot. Card values are rounded.
Publer’s separate 28-day overview reports 83.4K Reach, up 10.4K% against the prior period. The starting base was small; the headline uses native Instagram viewers and views instead.
02 / YOUTUBE / THE TECH STORYTELLER
The long-form series
is picking up.
6,403 views and 46.4 hours watched from 28 September to 25 October. YouTube Studio compares that with a typical 28-day range of 110–360 views.
The subscriber count has risen from the previously captured 121 on 13 October to 149 on 27 October: 28 more subscribers, a 23.1% increase between snapshots.
The strongest video in the reported period is The $5 Camera Experiment, with 1,484 views. The realtime panel shows new activity on robot perception and the DIY RGB LiDAR / Gaussian SLAM episode.
Channel totals include long videos and Shorts. The 48-hour count overlaps the channel history; it is not added to the 28-day figure. Historical subscriber evidence: 13 October screenshot.
03 / REDDIT / U/NO_QUAIL6685
Engineering conversations.
108K organic post views.
Reddit Pro reports 108K post views in its Past Month window, up 102K from the previous month. The platform explicitly includes repeat views.

04 / LINKEDIN / LUKAS TIMM
An established
engineering audience.
Ten years in automotive, LiDAR, simulation and engineering processes provide the connection to robotics. The audience includes engineers and technical decision-makers already familiar with that work.
The current 28-day period, 30 September–27 October, recorded 1,086 social engagements. Publer’s separate 29 September–26 October snapshot reports 227 added followers.
Native follower demographics show 35% senior-level and 28% in motor vehicle manufacturing. This is a broad engineering audience; the annual total is not a robotics-only reach claim.

06 / RECENT WORK
Real work.
Different ways to tell it.
26 OCT / EP20 / HARDWARE + SENSOR REPLAY
My robot arm can see.
Recorded wrist-camera, iToF, infrared and joint streams brought into the office twin. Real arm motion, calibration work and the remaining problems.
Watch EP20 ↗
23 OCT / EP16 / RECONSTRUCTION
From depth to a room.
A DIY iToF + RGB rig becomes an offline metric map and Gaussian splat. The episode shows how calibration affects the result.

19 OCT / INSTAGRAM / SIMULATION
Why the Roadster loses lift.
A visual engineering question that earned 35,217 reel views, 225 saves and 127 new followers in native insights.
Watch the reel ↗These are independent editorial experiments. The RealMan arm is on loan. Episode thumbnails are presentation artwork; the episodes distinguish real captures, replay, reconstruction and simulation.

Your engineering.
A story people understand.
Launch films & explainers.
A product story for your website, launch and sales conversations. CAD, simulation, real footage and social cuts shaped around what your buyer needs to understand.
Ongoing founder content.
Interviews, editorial direction, technical visuals and finished copy. A consistent programme with your review for technical accuracy and voice.
A sponsored dojo experiment.
An agreed engineering question, a documented experiment and selected episode or short-form integrations. Hardware loans, production, distribution and reuse rights are scoped clearly.
Production and distribution are quoted separately. We select channels and reporting windows for the project; these observations describe past performance, not guaranteed campaign results.
