I’m Christof, a B.Sc. Data Science student at FHNW and a DevSecOps engineer specialising in cloud solutions. Based in Aargau, Switzerland, I have a passion for exploring the unknown, taking on challenges and constantly learning.
I believe in learning technologies at their core, not just frameworks on top. From developing Minecraft plugins at age 10, to building an iOS app for students, to creating CI/CD systems at Swisscom and mentoring apprentices – the through-line has always been curiosity paired with high standards.
In data science, I champion privacy and data protection – principles I consider non-negotiable. Whether it’s metadata collection systems for Swiss speech-to-text, or software managing complex infrastructure changes, the goal is always meaningful, sustainable progress.
I have a deep love for the mountains that define our landscape. You can often find me skiing or traversing alpine heights. As a former scout leader with Jungwacht Blauring, I’m no stranger to teamwork and pragmatic problem solving.
Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. - Joshua J. Marine
Languages and tools I reach for: Python, Rust, TypeScript, C#, and whatever the problem demands. Rust has become a favourite – its philosophy of correctness over convenience aligns with how I think about building lasting systems.
