Picture of myself

That's me

This is home

I am someone that likes to dabble and try things. And sometimes it just goes unexpectedly well. My blog gathers all the posts about the fun stuff I like to work with and try out. I designate this space for my hobby projects and other interesting titbits I encounter when working. You might want to check out PDFBlaze or Vechsel , or browse my other projects. I may also occasionally post about my research or simply just braindump some thoughts. I have always enjoyed learning (and educating others) about all the weird little bits and intricacies that you encounter during software development. Maybe I can shed some light on these weirdnesses or maybe you are just here to have a snoop around, don't let me stop you. You can find links to my socials above, I am also on Mastodon and X .

Me (briefly)

I'm a software engineer, originally from Germany and now living and working in the UK since 2018. As of right now I am employed as a senior software engineer at Simply Do Ideas in Cardiff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. I have finished my PhD degree at Cardiff University . I had always been fascinated with the psychology surrounding the use of technology and being able to research Human Computer Interaction to this extent was a great experience. You can find my thesis and other research papers in the projects section.

My habit progress

This is a public view of my habit tracker for this year, if you're interested in the same you can create your own habit tracker using my website. Just like this one trackers can be embedded into any website, no information will be shared unless you explicitly choose to do so, and even if you do it will only share the count of completions, not what the habit actually is.
