About me

How I got here

When I got the chance to retrain as an IT specialist for application development, I first sat in on a class for a day. After that I knew this was what I wanted to do. I started with HTML and Python; today I build web applications with Blazor and run them myself.

How I work

• Curious. I get into new topics and technologies quickly and on my own.
• With a plan and room to move. I plan before I start. If I notice along the way that something works better another way, or the plan hits its limits, I change it.
• Step by step. The first version is allowed to be rough. What matters to me is that each new one turns out better than the last.
• Documented. I write down what I built, how and why. That way others can keep working with it, and so can I six months from now.

My goal

I want to build software that people actually need. It should be well thought out and easy to maintain, and it should get finished. That's why I keep learning, from the database to the server.

What I'm up to

• developing PameliaChat further, the beta is running
• studying for my final exam, with a learning app I built myself
• developing with AI agents (agentic engineering)
• running my mail server and setting up a home server

Away from code

People who know me describe me as honest, loyal and committed, or in short: you can count on me through thick and thin.

I commute a lot and almost always have an audiobook on.
