Hi all! This is my personal webpage ^-^

I've probably been programming for longer than is healthy. I started out near the start of high school programming BASIC on my TI-84, in dasterdly competition and collaboration with my friend Matthias Vandersanden. After a while, unsatisfied with the slow speed of TI-BASIC, I started dabbling in z80 assembly, creating a super-fast maze generator (and an AsmPrgrm76 calculator-bricking scourge at my school). Around the same time I started doing "real" programming in Java, in which I built a few minecraft plugins and little experiments for my school. After building a small 2D physics engine in Java, I joined forces with Matthias once again to build our biggest project thus far: Physics3D, this time in C++. I believe we ended up working on the thing for almost 5 years! Sadly, as we both moved on to our final years of university, and had to focus on our respective master's theses, progress on Physics3D slowed and then halted. I moved on to the Dedekind Project, a project in which I calculated the 9th Dedekind Number. It involved designing a dedicated Hardware accelerator to speed up computing enough such that we could feasibly run it on the Paderborn University Noctua 2 FPGA cluster. After 3 years of work and half a year of runtime, we found it! After this project, I joined PC2 to work on my new research project: Designing a new Hardware Design Language called SUS to fix the sorry state of hardware design, and make it easier to design hardware accelerators, like the one that computed the 9th Dedekind Number.
