About Me


Introduction

Greetings, and welcome to my digital abode! My name is Nicolas, and I'm a Software Engineer who is deeply passionate about all things related to technology and coding.

I was born and raised in Germany, a nation renowned for its engineering prowess and innovative spirit — traits I aim to embody in my professional and personal life.

I'm currently employed as a Fullstack Engineer at ARAG, the industry-leading legal insurance company. My role here is multi-faceted: not only do I get to dive deep into challenging engineering tasks, but I also have the honor of wearing the hat of an Instructor. In this role, I mentor apprentices, offering them the guidance, knowledge, and hands-on experience they need to flourish in the fast-evolving world of software engineering. There's a special kind of fulfillment in helping the next generation of engineers grow and prosper.

Interests & Hobbies

When I'm not immersed in lines of code or tinkering with new technologies, I like to diversify my interests to keep a balanced life.

Coding

Yes, my job is also my hobby. I often find myself lost in personal projects or contributing to open-source endeavors. Whether it's building a new app or creating a library for public use, the process of transforming an idea into something functional is incredibly rewarding for me.

Gym

Working out is not just a routine; it's a lifestyle choice for me. Spending time at the gym helps me focus better and keeps my energy levels high. It's my form of active meditation.

Board Games

You'll often find me huddled around a board game with my friends. It's not just about the competition; it's about strategizing, thinking ahead, and most importantly, having fun.

By combining my professional aspirations with my hobbies, I strive to lead a life rich in experiences and learning. Whether I'm debugging code, lifting weights, or strategizing my way to victory in a board game, each activity offers its own set of challenges and rewards. This multifaceted approach to life not only keeps things interesting but also contributes to making me a well-rounded individual.
