Welcome
Hi
I am Nils and a Software Engineer from Dortmund, Germany.

I have worked on various projects ranging from developing C++-based simulation software to new and innovative cloud-based IoT services using bleeding-edge technologies.

In my spare time, I'm a big fan of Hackathons - an overview of my projects can be found below. I am also curious to try out new technologies and like to work in an international environment.
