I am a young thinkerer.

That's how I would describe myself.

Ever since I knew myself, I have always needed to do something. My father introduced me to computers, but that was just the beginning.

As I grew older and my knowledge expanded, my interests also expanded... By getting smaller. After using the family computer, I wanted to know what made it tick; what got the wheels turning. I watched how my father put his new computer together and I wanted to learn more.

I joined an Electronics class where I learned about the components of a circuit, how to read schematics, how to transform them into circuits and how to solder.

Schoolwork got busier and I had to take a break from the Eelectronics class. I grew closer to programming as I transitioned to highscool. "Samuel von Brukenthal" is one of the best schools close to my home and my parents chose it for the middle school studies in German, but I chose to continue highschool there because they thaught Informatics. (Shoutout to the best deskmate in history, Andrei)

Pretty soon I had a problem. I was nearing graduation and I wasn't sure where to study next. Just like a parent couldn't choose their favourite child, I couldn't choose which passion to turn into profession. After some sleepless nights, and (felt like) endless thinking, I realised: "Why not do both?"

I chose to study at one of the best Electronics colleges while deepening my programming knowledge on my own.

Also, if you noticed the "spelling mistake" in my quote, it's intended. I am a tinkerer, but there is no tinkering without thinking of new things.

As for my alias "HexaFobia", I was once looking for an interesting name for my Steam account. Before that, one of my teachers (hello Rusi) was talking about Phobias and I didn't have to look far for the fear of the number 666. Also known as "Hexakosioihexekontahexafobia". I thought it would be fun to hear strangers trying to give me directions in fast-paced strategy games. I was right.
