I was born in November 2007 near Hanover, Germany. As a child, I loved to bombard my parents with questions about all kinds of things. As I got older, this turned into me pulling apart everything in order to understand how it was built. This burning curiosity combined with my love for video games led me to programming.
I created my first GitHub account on May 17, 2019, where I published my first ever project (a text-based rpg written in java). I played around with different languages from C to JavaScript. Nowadays, I mostly use C++ to program microcontrollers and Python for small tools and physics simulations. In February 2025, I completed an internship at the Institute of Microelectronic Systems, which is headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Blume, who is incredibly passionate about his work and a role model for me. This made me want to pursue a degree in Computer Engineering.
I first started to gain an interest in philosophy at the age of 15, where, like many young people, I searched for an answer on how to live my life. Though I grew up as an atheist, I started gaining an interest in religion and, while I'm not religious today, I still feel that this was an important step in my development as a person, which left me with an understanding of theology and the ability to understand other positions. The start of my philosophical journey definitely was Albert Camus' "The Stranger", which I loved very much. I was also taught philosophy in school, though I am in the process of finishing my last course this year and have only had a total of two years of philosophy classes. My love for philosophy was truly ignited by my philosophy teacher, who taught his class with such passion that it was one of the best classes in my entire student-life.
I was always fascinated by mathematics and this realm of logic that, through its abstract nature, is applicable in so many different areas. I would say that there are two types of people in the world: Those that see math as a boring tool and those, like me and Prof. Blume, that see this divine beauty in it. I think that mathematics is one of the most elegant things that we can witness - a thing that is so beautiful and, at the same time, a language with which we can model the world around us.
Even just a few years ago, I found it hard to articulate what my hobbies and interests are, but I think that I now know myself enough to finally answer that question: I am interested in the abstract and my hobbies are coding and writing, though these are merely the different outlets of the same source: Thinking.
