About Merlin

My career path is shaped by a fascination with complex systems – whether it's quantum spin chains in theoretical physics, acoustic modeling of wind farms, or securing highly sensitive infrastructures in investigative contexts.
Through my degrees in Physics and Computer Science, I combine the methodological rigor of the natural sciences with modern software architecture. I see myself as a link between theory and practice: I don't just develop code, but understand the mathematical and physical models behind it.

    Transitioning to self-employment was the next logical step for me.
    I love not only solving complex technical problems but also being an entrepreneurial partner at my clients' side. My goal is to bring agility and high-end engineering (from Python/Go to Kubernetes) directly where they make the biggest difference – quickly, directly, and goal-oriented.
