About
Although I am still studying, I have been working for six years in the industry, two and a half years of which as a SysAdmin and three and a half and ongoing as a Software and DevOps engineer. In these recent years I had the opportunity to acquire extensive knowledge about the workflow of developing and maintaining software in an agile environment. I am a lifelong learner and am always seeking out new opportunities to grow and develop. Especially my current occupation as an engineer allows me to explore new subjects and ideas.
As for my background, I was born and raised in Germany and have been blessed with a wide cultural background. Being French and Italian gave me a pretty early sense for the rich culinary traditions and flavors of my heritage, and sparked my deep passion for food, cooking, and culinary experiences. As of now I speak about five languages: German, English, Italian, French and Spanish; and I plan to learn even more in the coming years, since learning languages has always been fun for me.
When I am not at university or at work, you can find me either at home playing retro games on my modded hardware (Game Boy Colors, Advance, etc.), perfecting my cooking at my kitchen or outside looking for new culinary experiences, preferably with friends, because food always tastes better when it is shared with someone.
