Trading Bot

Python

API

SQL

This project is about a Trading Bot for trading crypto currencies.
The application is written in Python and using the Kucoin API for requesting the market data and posting buy and sell orders.
The core program represents a framework for testing different trading strategies live or backtesting.

Arduino Game Console

C++

Arduino

GitHub Repo

This hands-on project transforms an Arduino into a compact game console, beginning with Pong across multiple versions that add RGB matrix support, high-score tracking (up to five points), and animated transitions for smoother play. Controls use joysticks for intuitive bat movement, with difficulty options from Easy to Super Hard, and multitasking for better performance. Leveraging libraries like Adafruit NeoMatrix and GFX, it aims to expand to games like TicTacToe, Snake, and PacMan, blending hardware hacking with nostalgic gaming.

Number Recognition

Python

Machine Learning

This project represents my final high school thesis, for which I also received the award for Computer Science and Math at JugendForscht 2024 (student science competition).
In this thesis I explored ways and algorithms for improving basic number recognition via Machine Learning on very small datasets.

Live Demo GitHub Repo

This second-version portfolio is a responsive web application built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL, supporting English and German languages via a header toggle. It dynamically loads project details from a database, featuring technology badges, live demo links, and detailed popups for each project to provide an engaging user experience across devices. The design emphasizes clean animations and accessibility, making it an ideal showcase for a developer's work.

About Me

Background
I started my coding journey in 2016 when I was 12 years old. I gathered my first experiences during summer course for the Arduino Microcontroller at the student research center Phaenovum in Lörrach, Germany. Throughout the following years I continued developing basic knowledge in programming and computer science. A few years later, I discovered the web languages and was excited to learn them. During that time, I was limited to our families computer, which had time restrictions, so I was never able to fully immerse into programming. In late 2019, my school bought new computers, so they took some older computers out of service, which was in my favor because I was allowed to take some computers home. With the help of a friend, I upgraded and overclocked the computer till it was usable by modern standards. That marks a caesura in my coding journey. <br>
After that I continued learning various languages and also improving my programming skills. Some languages I learned over the past few years are listed below in the Skills section. Over the past two years I developed an interest in Machine Learning, so I started my Machine Learning journey with another course at the Phaenovum. I just finished my first Machine learning project, and I am currently working on another project on image recoginition using special aspects for feature engineering.
