Hello 👋,
as you maybe have guessed already, my blog turns around anything electronics-engineering related.
I’m holding a degree in microelectronics (B.Eng) and nanoelectronics (M.Eng). In my studies I have mainly focused on electronics, solid-state physics (with a bit of quantum) and mathematics.
As I went through my studies I noticed that sharing my acquired knowledge is a necessity that scales with the amount of knowledge one has. If you gain insights in a topic it usually get’s more valuable as you share it with other people.
On the other hand there are many knowledgeable minds out there in the wild internet sharing their part. For those reasons I want to join them to share my experience I gained from them. As I am interested in learning new stuff I will also continue sharing those topics further.
But that blog should not be centered around my studies or professional career. Coincidentally, for me my hobbies are also quite in the same area as my professional work 😄. Many of those interests already emerged some time ago as I enjoyed “disassembling” stuff in my childhood (more like taking it apart and forgetting how to put everything together).
Much of the knowledge and experience I gained over the time came from my own research. For example I teached myself programming with some Java 6 book (with over 1k pages) from where on I looked into C++. As for now I mainly code in C++ and Python.
When it comes to electronics I probably owned every “Experimentierkasten” you can imagine (basically electronics projects for children). Collecting these and every other self-constructed projects I have now some boxes filled with electronic parts and disassembled gadgets.
As I discovered the sheer amount of knowledge from the internet I got more into developing my own projects. From here on I got more into the “usable” space of hobby electronics, where you don’t just fool around with stuff but also get something of value at the end 😉. For that I got into the world of embedded systems, SoCs (of course starting with an Arduino) and tons of applications for that.
From that on I got into 3D printing and designing my own PCBs. With those tools I could then tackle more sophisticated projects, which I’m quite proud of.
Besides electronics I also enjoy working with computers. For that I run a small homelab server environment, which can be also useful for other stuff than just plain NAS.
Besides the STEM-related geek stuff I also enjoy watching movies/series, playing boardgames, reading and working on my car. As for non-geek activities I also like woodworking, cooking and cycling.
