My path into development

My path into software development was not a straight line.

Before starting my retraining, I spent more than five years working at Hannover Medical School. My work required accurate documentation, clear processes, reliability, and the ability to solve problems without losing sight of quality or safety.

In 2025, I decided to make a professional change and began an IHK retraining programme as a Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung. I currently focus mainly on Python, relational databases, and the foundations of web development.

I learn best by building. Alongside my coursework, I create small projects, document them on GitHub, and revisit them as my understanding improves.

I am especially interested in software that makes real processes clearer, simpler, or more reliable. My next goal is to gain practical experience in a development team and continue growing through real projects.

Selected projects

What I have built so far.

These are learning projects rather than finished commercial products. Each one gave me a concrete way to practise a specific part of software development and identify what I needed to learn next.

Python · Flet

Flag Game

A country flag guessing game built with Python and Flet. It uses local JSON data, reveals progressive hints, normalises user input and stores high scores locally.

Python · Flask · Team Project

WreckingBall

An academic team project built around two Raspberry Pis. I worked primarily on the Flask dashboard, live camera streaming, telemetry, SQLite logging, media handling and data management. The movement controls and wider embedded system were developed collaboratively by the team.
