I Studied Computer Science and Psychology at LMU Munich. My thesis explored eBPF applications for container performance monitoring, focusing on workload optimization in high-performance computing clusters.

Daniel Schneider
Head of Engineering at Hotellistat
As Engineering Lead at Hotellistat, I combine software development, architecture and design. I believe technical excellence and visual aesthetics should go hand in hand - both need to meet high standards.
My work is driven by quality. I build software that needs both thoughtful design and solid functionality, with no compromises on either front.

Core Principles
Truth Over Theater
Real skill and honest self-reflection matter more than trying to impress. Empty words and inflated claims never deliver - genuine capability speaks for itself. What earns respect isn't showmanship, but the ability to deliver results with integrity.
Stand Clear
Good answers come from strong opinions, not endless "it depends." While staying open to being wrong, clear views backed by real thinking move us forward. There's value in challenging common wisdom when the reasons are solid.
Say It Straight
Clear words move work forward. There's no use in side-stepping issues or staying quiet - honest, direct communication makes things better. When something needs to be said, say it with respect and purpose.
Less is More
Quality emerges from simplicity. Start minimal, then refine until each piece serves its purpose. Nothing extra, nothing missing - just clear intent in clean design. The hardest work is choosing what to remove.
Details Matter
Good work requires care at every step. "Good enough" isn't - true quality comes from constant refinement. Each detail deserves attention until the whole system works exactly as it should.
Design & Distinction
Design shapes how software feels and works. It's not extra polish - it's a core part of development that needs just as much attention as the technical side. Every screen and interaction communicates something about quality and care.

The neutral color palette
In the world of user interface design, neutrals are colors that are used to create visual hierarchies through their brightness. They define the look and feel of any user interface you encounter and are often underdeveloped leading to a bad user experience.
