Feat

Things I built that people actually use

Each one shipped, with the write-up on what broke, what it cost and what I would do differently.

All

Everything else

Including the ones that are finished, archived or did not work out. Those tend to be the more interesting write-ups.

Path

How I actually learned this

No computer science degree. A Swiss apprenticeship, four years of shipping software inside a real team, and a lot of evenings.

  1. [[2025]] — PresentWork

    [[Software Engineer]]

    [[Company name]]

    [[One or two sentences on what this team builds and what you own within it. Lead with the system you are responsible for, not your job title.]]

    • [[Shipped a feature that measurably moved a number you can name]]
    • [[Owned a service end to end, including its on-call and its failures]]
    • [[Something you introduced that outlived the ticket that prompted it]]
  2. [[2021]] — [[2025]]Education

    Applikationsentwickler EFZ

    [[Training company]]

    Four-year Swiss vocational apprenticeship: four days a week building production software inside a real engineering team, one day a week in vocational school. The work was never theoretical — everything I wrote had users.

    • [[Rotated across backend, frontend and operations teams]]
    • [[Delivered your IPA final project — name it and say what it did]]
    • [[Graduated with a grade worth mentioning, if it is]]
  3. [[2023]] — [[2024]]Education

    English, [[C1 Advanced]]

    [[Language school]]

    Evening courses taken alongside the apprenticeship, so that documentation, code review and technical writing in English are not a bottleneck.

    • [[Cambridge C1 Advanced, passed [[year]]]]
    • Write and review in English daily
  4. [[2019]] — [[2021]]Self-directed

    Self-taught, then apprenticed

    On my own time

    Started with [[what actually got you started — a game mod, a script to automate something annoying, a friend's website]]. No course, no curriculum, just problems that would not leave me alone.

    • [[How you got from there into the apprenticeship]]

Hack

48 hours, a team, and something that works by Sunday

Hackathons are the closest thing to a stress test for how I work with people I have never met.

    Best technical execution

    [[The first hackathon where you owned the architecture rather than following someone else's. Say what that changed.]]

Make

Things that fly, and the parts that hold them together

FPV quads I built and tune myself, and the printed parts I design when the off-the-shelf version keeps breaking.

Vol

Unpaid work that keeps local clubs running

Small Swiss Vereine run on volunteers. A few evenings of engineering goes a long way in a place where nobody else can do it.

  • [[2023]] — Present

    [[Local sports club]]

    IT and website

    [[Run the club's website and member mailing. Rebuilt it so the committee can update it without me — that was the point.]]

  • [[2024]] — [[2025]]

    [[Local club]]

    Treasury tooling

    Built and ran Kassenwart, the tool that replaced the committee's shared spreadsheet, then handed the data over cleanly when the club merged.

  • [[2022]] — Present

    [[Repair café]]

    Volunteer

    [[A Saturday a month fixing laptops and phones for people who would otherwise replace them. Most of it is patience rather than skill.]]

Log

Notes from the build log

Mostly things I got wrong first, written down while the details were still fresh.
