I first came into contact with the world of software during summer camps in HTML, CSS & JavaScript at SAP in Walldorf, Germany when I was in 5th and 6th grade. Soon after I joined the Hector Seminar program for gifted students, where I had my first real programming experience with Java on Lego Mindstorms robots (leJOS).

My journey then continued with embedded programming: A friend was building on his analog model railway and wanted to build a cheap controller. We designed simple circuits and tied it all together with an Arduino at first, but soon switched to an ATMega1284p microcontroller. I still have fragments of the C code here on GitHub.

After that, I branched out in many directions. I did a bunch of web dev and admin tasks. Projects such as planets2D, BluffServer, and NodeDynDNS are also some of my earlier works. BasicCRUDApp, HuffmanEncoding, and no-pain are more recent projects that I organized better.

During all this, I had the opportunity to work with Virtual Forge, today a subsidiary of SAP system Cybersecurity company Onapsis. There I could earn valuable experience in developing a commercial product.

Currently, I am leading the wiki development team for iGEM Toronto and work as a teaching assistant at UofT.

Besides uni, I continue working on my projects and participating in coding challenges like AdventOfCode.
