Hi, I'm a software engineer from Vorarlberg, living in Vienna. I studied software engineering at TU Wien, where I earned my Bachelor of Science.

At my job I work on safety critical software for air traffic control systems, mostly written in C++.

This is my space on the internet, containing various projects and experiments that I like to work on. Some of them can be found on Github. If you would like to be notified of new posts you can subscribe to my rss feed.
