About

Hi again, I'm
Dennis

I'm a software developer and occasional bug whisperer driven by curiosity, creativity, and the great feeling of solving coding problems. My story started a few years ago when I needed to choose my next educational path. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I always thought that coding looked very cool. So I questioned myself: How hard can it be? Well....... it's a lot harder than I thought. But that's the fun part of it, isn't it? Having new challenges and new opportunities to learn, tinker, and somtimes (but more often than I like) crash the entire system along the way.

In my free time I like to work on my own projects. It ranges from making mobile weather apps (Not another weather app), making an database object relational mapper in Java (DB-ORM), to making a full-on operating system called Pong-OS just to play pong on it. I work on a wide range of projects to explore what I tryly enjoy. And in the process, I end up learning a lot about... well... almost everything.

But there is more to me than just coding. When I'm not fighting the missing semicolons, you can find me doing my other hobbies which includes reading books, gaming, and my love for airplanes.

As for books, I mostly read non-fiction books. Sometimes about a new topic to learn, and sometimes just a depiction of real-life events. And the gaming side? Well I love a great written game, a game where you can just sink into and forget what time it is because you get so invested in the story. But, I can also get lost for days playing a great city builder. It just gives me a great outles for my creativity and city planning about where the next city part should be.

And last but not least, airplanes. I'm just fascinated by them. I love to learn everything about them. There's something awe-inspiring about standing next to a jetliner plane, feeling so small in comparison. Their sheer scale and engineering makes me appreciate such an invention.

So whether I'm coding, reading, gaming, or admiring a jetliner up close, I'm always trying to chase curiosity and learning something new.

So thank you for coming to my ted talk :)
