About

Hey and welcome 👋 I’m Ferdi, 30 years old, based in Karlsruhe, Germany and passionate about anything related to computers, software, technology and science. I love to write efficient and well-architectured code to automate task and solve real-world problems and I’m a big fan of open-source.

I got into tech back when starting my studies on information engineering and management at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2012 and sought to improve my skills and knowledge ever since. After a couple of internships and student jobs (at Inovex, ArtiMinds and Volkswagen Group of America) and after my graduation as a M.Sc. in 2020, I worked as a professional software- / data engineer and project lead at Frachtwerk and Orbio.

On the technical side, I did full-stack web (primarily Java / Spring, TypeScript), geo-spatial (GIS) data engineering (mainly Python, PostGIS, etc.), as well as sysadmin and DevOps tasks (using TerraForm, Ansible & Co.).

In Feb 2023, I went back to KIT and started my PhD on the topics of autonomous driving at the chair of Prof. Zöllner on Applied Technical-Cognitive Systems, Institute of Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods. Check out my LinkedIn for more …

Besides, I’m passionately working on a couple of open-source projects and founded server.camp with two friends.

I continusouly seek to improve, acquire new skills and get into new topics, because I think people should never stop learning!
