As you can probably tell from my accent, I'm from Bern. I come from a small village near Biel and attended the Biel-Seeland Gymnasium. Now I'm studying computer science – I'm just starting my master's degree. In my studies, I'm interested in visual computing, for example the optimization of rendering processes. On the other hand, I also find cybersecurity exciting, firewalls for example—making sure that the internet is a safe place for everyone. I can also imagine working in these areas later on.
I'm sure I'll have a lot to do with the further development of OlyPortal. For example, I'll be working on linking OlyPortal to the Science Olympiad database.
I will also be involved with the Science Olympiad website, which is due to be revamped in the near future.
I'm looking forward to applying some of the things I learned during my studies and working on a project for a longer period of time. In computer science studies, you always have a subject for one semester and then don't necessarily apply what you've learned again.
Unfortunately, the Astronomy Olympiad didn't exist when I was in high school, but if it had, I would have participated. I did participate in the Physics Olympiad once.
As a computer science student, you spend a lot of time on the computer, but I also appreciate the balance. I like to get out into nature, for example, hiking and fishing with my brother. I also enjoy playing chess and strategy games. My newest hobby is drawing.
