Physics Student / Research Software Developer / Simulation Builder / Fullstack Developer

Hey! I'm a physics student in Kiel who writes research software, from radiative transfer animations to research data pipelines. Coding since 2020 in Python, C and Rust, and just as at home crafting polished frontends.

Journey

How I got here

  1. Now

    Student Research Assistant at DAPHNE4NFDI

    AG Murphy, CAU Kiel · since Aug 2026

    Joined the DAPHNE4NFDI consortium, building research data tools for photon and neutron science — like automating IGSN sample registration so lab samples get persistent identifiers.

    Physics Student

    Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel · since Oct 2025

    Studying physics at CAU Kiel, bridging the gap between scientific thinking and software — simulations, data analysis, and everything in between.

    Junior Developer at BEYONDIT GmbH

    Kiel · since Jul 2024

    Started my first professional role as a developer, working on real-world fullstack projects in a team environment.

  2. Oct 2026 · ended

    Research Internship in Astrophysics

    AG Wolf, CAU Kiel · May 2026 – Oct 2026

    Worked with Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations of protoplanetary disks (HAMSTER) and built hamster-animator, which turns them into camera flights and polarization maps and runs on the group's SLURM cluster.

    First Open Source Project

    GitHub

    Built a fullstack tournament management app in Rust and React — my first real dive into both the language and open source.

  9. May 2020

    First Line of Code

    Home

    Got into programming through Java — starting with a Minecraft server. That rabbit hole never really ended.
