What I'm Doing Now

Last updated: January 19, 2026

This is a now page. It's a snapshot of what I'm currently focused on.

Currently Learning

After writing and publishing my first Swift application I recently was able to get my first Android app using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose into the Google Play Store. Since then I am still learning about new functionality and I keep improving my app.

By building my own portfolio website I am most recently learning a lot about React and Next.js.

Working On

In cooperation with the "German Museum" in Munich and the LMU I am creating a web application that makes a virtual simplified version of the "Eitz Reinharmonium" accessible to everyone.

In a seminar project at the chair for applied education technologies I am part of a team that builds a new tool for assessing equal contributions of students in university programming assignments by finding useful metrics and LLM-based categorisation of the meaningfulness of student's contributions.

Academic Focus

As a head TA for "Introduction to Programming" and a TA for "Patterns in Software Engineering" I focus on teaching software engineering concepts to students. Even though this is already my fifth time being a tutor, I keep learning new things when interacting with the students. Additionally, I am taking two courses in music at the LMU ("Satzlehre" and "Formenlehre"), which is not just surprisingly interesting but also broadens my horizon towards the humanities.

SwimResults

My "passion project" SwimResults is a software for swimming competitions that brings live information to the devices of the participants and their friends. Currently, I focus on refining the recently published Android app as well as new tools for simplifying the integration process for new competitions and customers (SwimResults Manager). Therefore, I am also working on expanding the supported timing systems and software to support OMEGA systems with CPS-Schwimm.

Games

Besides my all-time favourite "Minecraft" I recently started a new game in "Red Dead Redemption 2" focusing a lot on the details, small dialogues and encounters that I did not notice when playing the game the first time. I also started a new world in "Transport Fever 2" not just to build a large railway system on a bigger map but also to manage my excitement for the upcoming third iteration of the game.
