My Story


First Steps with HTML ~8 years old

My older brother Rudi received an HTML tutorial from our father, and I got a copy too. At the time, I found it difficult to remember the basics and eventually forgot most of what I had learned.

Discovering TI-Basic ~9 years old

My older brother Georg got a TI-84+ calculator and started creating small games on it. I was fascinated, so I bought the same model for €16 and enjoyed manually copying his programs to mine.

Writing TI-Basic Programs ~9 years old

Not long after, I began writing my own simple programs in TI-Basic on the calculator. It was fun and gave me a solid introduction to programming fundamentals.

Revisiting HTML ~10 years old

With more programming experience under my belt, I returned to the HTML tutorial. This time, everything made more sense. I progressed steadily, though most of my work was still HTML with only about 5% CSS (so the style was really bad).

Learning Python 10 years old

My father, along with my older brothers Rudi and Georg, started learning Python – and I joined in. Python felt intuitive, and I learned a lot by writing small programs.

Get to know Bash 12 years old

Since I use Linux and am transitioning entirely to open source, my father introduced me to Bash. I didn’t dive too deep but still wrote a few practical scripts and found it quite handy.

First big project 13 years old

My friend Felix and I started working on our first major project: CollabDev. It was an exciting step into collaborative software development.

Try Java 13 years old

Felix, who mostly programs in Java, often talked about it. Curious, I gave it a try. However, due to time constraints, I didn’t get far beyond some basic test programs.

Try out PHP 14 years old

I really enjoy using my self-hosted Nextcloud. When my father mentioned he wanted a Gantt chart feature for it – but none existed – I decided to try building one myself. That led me to learn PHP. Since it shares many concepts with other programming languages, picking it up was quite easy for me.
