Programming

• I began programming in the first semester of my Bachelor's program, where I learned about the basic principles of IT with a hands-on course in C++ programming. During this period I discovered my enthusiasm for programming. It was later in my Master's program and part-time job at the AIP where I continued learning C and Python for scientific purposes. In February 2020, I joined 4Cast GmbH & Co. KG as I wanted to gain experience in software development in a professional environment.
