Hobbys:

Martial Arts/ Self defense/ Ju-Jutsu Since 2008, I’ve been training in martial arts and now, I also coach others. German Jujutsu is a versatile martial art, developed in the 1960s in Germany, that combines techniques from various traditional and modern martial arts.

Being a scout I’ve been a scout since 2009 and have now taken on the role of a team leader. Being a scout fosters self-sufficiency, promotes good health habits, and provides opportunities for adventure while building resilience and character.

Bikepacking I often embark on long tours, carrying only the bare essentials with me. Bikepacking enhances physical fitness, provides mental clarity, and fosters a deep connection with nature, while offering the thrill of adventure and exploration.

Smart Home I have a keen interest in smart home technology and am actively developing my own smart home system. Incorporating smart home technology enhances convenience, improves energy efficiency, and provides advanced security.

Projects

Home Assistant Server

Through setting up a Home Assistant server on a Raspberry Pi, I have learned a lot. First, I learned the basics of hardware by setting up and configuring a Raspberry Pi. Then, I dealt with operating systems and software by installing an operating system on the Raspberry Pi and installing and configuring software like Home Assistant on it. I also learned networking techniques by connecting the Raspberry Pi to the internet and configuring network settings to make the Home Assistant server accessible from anywhere. Finally, I dealt with automation and IoT by connecting various devices and services with Home Assistant and automating them. Additionally, I learned to configure various settings in the Home Assistant software using YAML, a human-readable data language.

Wordpress Website for Ju-Jutsu Club

By creating a website with WordPress and hosting it on Strato for my Ju-Jutsu club, I gained a lot of information. First, I learned the basics of WordPress, including installing and configuring themes and plugins. I also learned how to create and publish content, including text, images, and videos. In addition, by hosting the website on Strato, I gained valuable experience in web hosting. I learned how to choose a hosting package, register a domain, and configure DNS settings. I also learned how to secure the website and perform regular backups.

Personal Website

Embarking on the journey of building a personal website, I delved into the realms of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Crafting each element, styling it, and breathing life into JavaScript. The project took a leap forward as I uploaded it on GitHub, turning lines of code into a tangible, accessible entity. Using Cloudflare Pages for hosting, I ensured a seamless user experience, free from the hassles of server management. The final touch was buying my own domain, a unique identity in the vast digital world. This not only gave my website a professional look but also taught me about DNS and domain management. I learned not just about coding, but also about version control, hosting, and domain management. It was a journey from being a coder to becoming a full-stack developer.
