My main interests are software development & data processing. During my BSc, I have been trained as a biophysicist. Throughout my studies, I started learning to code. That's how I got to know the field of computer science (CS). Because I liked developing so much, I decided to switch to CS. I still very much like to apply CS to biological data, so most of my projects are dedicated to that. But I'm very enthused about CS or IT in general. Besides science, I also love reading and I have a keen interest in politics. Lastly, I recently found out how much fun padel is! I can really recommend giving it a try if you haven't yet. Want to know more? Do not hesitate to contact me.
