Born in 2001, I have been facinated by history and learning about the past from a young age. Reading stories about medieval sieges and roman cities as a child, history and the past remained one of my primary interests and hobbies into adulthood.
Another major passion of mine was technology, particularly computer programming. Starting to teach myself HTML and Visual Basic at the age of 12, I went on to join the Section I at the Lycée des Arts et Métiers, where I obtained my higher education entrance qualification with a specialization in IT and Communication in 2020.
Already before graduation, I realized that I no longer wanted to pursue a career in software engineering as originally planned. I instead opted to prioritize my interest in history and joined Heidelberg University. I now intend on specializing in modern history, using my background in IT to work on processing the wave of digital sources for use in historical research, which began flooding the world since the late 20th century.
