About Me

I'm a computer engineering student in Tampa Bay, originally from Austria. I build low-level systems that are reliable, responsive, and thoughtfully designed. Most of my work focuses on firmware, control logic, and interfaces that make hardware behave the way it should without getting in the way.

I mostly write C++ for microcontrollers and like building systems that work end to end. That includes OTA updates, task scheduling, real-time interfaces, and whatever else the project calls for. I'm detail-oriented and care a lot about making things clean, efficient, and intuitive.

I speak English, German, and Romanian fluently. I use Blender and Unreal Engine when I need to visualize ideas or just experiment creatively. I also dabble in game development when I have time. Outside of tech, I'm into skiing, hiking, and lifting.
