As the Head of Engineering at Hotellistat, my responsibilities encompass overseeing the technology landscape, driving the development of innovative systems, exploring cutting-edge solutions, and leading our skilled engineering team.

As the inaugural employee at Hotellistat, I have played a pivotal role in shaping the company's direction. My contributions include designing and implementing the advanced tech-stack for the second version of our product, architecting and scaling our infrastructure to efficiently process multiple terabytes of data each night, and establishing internal processes for the engineering team and the organization as a whole.

Furthermore, I have been instrumental in crafting Hotellistat's corporate identity, from creating the logo to developing our website, as well as designing our product and marketing materials.

Benedikt provided me with the invaluable opportunity to enter the field of professional software development. Under his guidance, I learned essential skills such as version control and managing large repositories. Together, we collaborated on a project for one of the largest bulk forums on the internet, known as BulkOnline.

From an early age, I have been deeply fascinated with the inner workings of technical devices, often disassembling everyday gadgets to explore their components. My passion for programming was ignited after learning about microcontrollers and Arduinos, which led me to develop programs such as one utilizing inverse kinematics to control a robotic arm.

My interests expanded into the realm of IoT, delving into Espressif microcontrollers like the ESP32. Additionally, I began working with Raspberry Pis, leveraging their capabilities to manage and secure my home network.
