My Interests

ExoScanner - a software to find exoplanets

I wrote a software called ExoScanner which allows amateur-astronomers to analyze their data and search for exoplanets easily. ExoScanner is my matura-project and was awarded one of the best in my school.

More details can be found on GitHub.

Competitive Programming

Competitive Programming is all about designing an algorithm to solve theoretical problem and implementing it.

My biggest achievement is a bronze medal at IOI 2022, the International Olympiad in Informatics.

Filmmaking

Filmmaking is all about telling a story. At the same time it's connected with a certain amount of technology.

I have produced music videos for both Safran and Les Soufflés, two very handsome ensembles.

Astrophotography

In astrophotography I can combine my artistic side with my interests in technology and science. I own 200/1000 reflector telescope, a big EQ-mount and a dslr. That rather simple setup already yields some quite impressive results. To view my images go here.

Music

I play the French horn in a youth-orchestra. I like to be able to express myself through music. It's the thing I do when I have seen too many pixels for the day.
