Hello 👋
My name is Pascal, and I am a software developer from Karlsruhe, Germany.
In 2013, I wrote my first lines of code on my Nintendo DSi using SmileBASIC and Petit Computer. When I got my first computer in 2014, I began learning Java. I developed some small programs and mods/plugins for Minecraft (Server). I found that software development was my passion. Today, I have made software development and DevOps my profession.
Conception and development take up the larger share of my work, from complete applications down to individual interfaces between systems. Then there is deployment, CI/CD and setting up the server infrastructure behind them. More recently I have also been working with AI agents and building the workflows that make them usable in a team.
Alongside my job I keep building my own projects, mostly private tools and prototypes. Some of them are available on my GitHub profile, others I build together with a friend under LazyBytez.
