SCROLL DOWN

About me

- I love the world of computers. Programming especially is very interesting. Difficult tasks are the ones that are the most fun. Like making user-friendly libraries or even more difficult tasks like writing an operating system in x86-64 Assembly. A big hobby of mine is, doing applications from scratch, without the help of other libraries. With this hobby, I created multiple productivity tools to help me, when I couldn't find a public available one or needed a function, which I could not find in other applications.

- In my free time, I watch/read devlog's or learn new coding techniques/libraries. Sometimes I join 48h coding challenges called "Game Jams" or connect with friends to play or code an app. I sometimes try new coding languages like Rust, goLang, Elexir and others to give me a challenge. I also like to experiement with microprocessors and raspberry Pi's, for when ever I want to work on something more physical.

- In the future, I also want to learn more about servers. I plan to do a cluster with raspberry pi's to start a stable base in this new subject and maybe start with hosting my website over it or code simple multiplayer games and host its server on it.

in the end I started with a cloud VPS, I definitly still want to do the cluster idea, but k8s is horrible to configure right now...

- I hope my experience and interest towards computers could be shown. ^^

How I started

- I have always been drawn to computers. why that was the case, I don't know. But maybe it was partly becuase I was rarely allowed access a pc or phone in my early life.

- Due to my limited access to computers. I started to make "point and click" games with PowerPoint. Later I wanted to get into coding, but because I wasn't allowed to install IDEs, I learned how to write scripts as a batch file and started to make "Text Adventures". These were greatly influenced by Text adventures from the 60s - 70s

- Later I finally was allowed to install vs-studio and started to write console applications. not long after that, I jumped into game development with Unity3d.

- After 2 years of game development, I decided to go a step back and do some windows app development with windows forms. This showed me, that it's never a good idea to skip the beginner steps. Because learning and working with Forms showed me so many techniques, which would have helped me a lot, if I had known this before.

- Those early experience with computers has lead me to the world of low level coding. I am not good in it, but I love learning about it and I occacionally do something in that area. Nowadays I mostly write software with a web interface. Which lead me to find out that I kinda like Designing too :D
