Hi, I’m Philipp (@phip1611) — a passionate software engineer in my twenties. I wrote my first lines of code at 14, but things really took off for me in 2016 during my university years. Since then, I’ve gained several years of experience as a student software engineer, worked on numerous hobby and university projects, and transitioned into the professional world.

I actively attend and organize meetups, go to conferences, engage with the community on GitHub and Reddit, and post about things on my blog.

My main areas of interest are low-level programming, kernels, device drivers, and virtualization. On the methodology side, I focus on improving developer productivity — through better tooling, clear documentation, thoughtful refactorings, and developer-friendly workflows. Reproducible and easy-to-use build systems and test setups are an essential step in that direction.
