About Me
I'm a software engineer driven by passion for programming and constant curiosity to learn. Beyond coding, I enjoy the challenge of strategy games. Furthermore, I like to experiment in the kitchen and try out new recipes. When I'm not coding or cooking, I enjoy spending time with friends and family.
My technical path started at HTL-Braunau, where I focused on Electronics with a specialization on Mobile Computing & Software Engineering. This sparked my interest and led me to pursue a Computer Science Bachelor's degree at JKU. While studying, I enjoyed sharing some knowledge by working as a tutor for the Institute of System Software (SSW) for six semesters.
I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Software Engineering from JKU. During my studies, I worked as a part-time Software Engineer at Dynatrace, contributing to the OneAgent Node.js team. My Master's thesis, "A Generic Machine Code Instrumentation Library", was a challenging project carried out in collaboration with both the SSW and Dynatrace, through which I gained extensive experience in low-level programming and software instrumentation.
With the educational steps done, I continue to work in the OneAgent Node.js team at Dynatrace in a full-time position. My focus is on enhancing the Node.js OneAgent by adding new features, as well as improving and maintaining the existing agent.

Education
Computer Science Master
Software Engineering
Johannes Kepler University Linz
February 2024 - July 2025
The main focus is on my Master's thesis about creating "A Generic Machine Code Instrumentation Library". This project is a collaboration between the SSW and Dynatrace. In contrast to other tools which only support certain architectures or operating systems, this library aims to be written in a modular way, such that multi-architecture and multi-operating system support can be achieved.
The written thesis is available here.
Furthermore, the thesis was selected as one of the top 3 finalists for the Adolf-Adam-Informatikpreis 2025.
Computer Science Bachelor
Johannes Kepler University Linz
October 2020 - January 2024
The adventure of my studies then started at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz with the Bachlor's program in Computer Science. There I got a broader understanding of the field of computer science. I learned about various concepts, algorithms, and programming languages. I also got a deeper understanding of the software development process and the importance of testing and debugging.
One of the highlights was the "Compiler Construction" course, where the task is to create a compiler in Java for the MicroJava language. This was a challenging but also rewarding
experience, when I saw the first program running and all the components working together nicely (and also seeing all tests pass was a great feeling).
Related to this course, I wrote my Bachelor's thesis at the SSW about a "LALR(1) Parser Table Generator". The goal was to create a tool that is able to generate parser tables for a specified grammar. This tool allows lecturers to iterate over homework examples much faster than by hand.
The written thesis is available here.
Elektronik und Technische Informatik
Mobile Computing & Software Engineering
HTL Braunau
September 2015 - June 2020
As a start into my software-related education, I attended the HTL in Braunau am Inn. The focus was on electronics and computer engineering, with the specialization in mobile computing and software engineering. There, I got basics in electronics and also programming.
One of the highlights was the Maturaarbeit, where I worked in a project in cooperation with the Artificial Intelligence Lab. The project was about "Autonomous Car Mapping and Tracking", where we tried to get SLAM algorithms working on a small Audi self-driving car.
The written Maturaarbeit is available here.
