Hello 👋
My name is Pascal, and I am a software engineer 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 engineering and DevOps my profession.
That ranges from complete applications to the tools and workflows a team uses to develop and run them. More recently I have also been working with AI agents and building workflows that turn them into a shared tool.
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.
