Hello Friends,

I studied software engineering and was one of the top three of the class but dropped out after 2 years because I had some troubles with the administration – so now I got my B.A. in social sciences, in CS we wrote in C# but I am a self-taught C guru and c++ freak (its getting so freaky - it is hard to keep up just as an example <=> or -> "[]"(...), spaceship operators and lambdas in c++) I am searching my first job in the IT sector – I would like to work in the "telco" field, we did software-engineering and I wanted to do the low level specialization but there weren't enough interested. I really into things like DOCSIS or LTE (and writing the C and ASM needed to get the node and network to run) - playing around with Ethernet got old. So I am pretty low-level interested, also the Linux kernel - I already used two existing codebases to "make" my own kernel modules to get a TV DVB-C PCI card to run and one for a 802.11n USB "stick" like network device. with 13 I used the bug on my Surfboard SB 3100 (we had cable since 95 384k/64k DS/US) — disconnected the coax (the dev team forgot to turn recompile the firmware without their debug code) so I could connect a PC to the modem because debugging allowed booting from an ethernet port - so I set up my own TFTP server with the same IP of my ISP - and was surfing with 30mbps 10-30 mins then they threw me out of the network. SO I am interested in firmware too.

So now that I finished writing, I still dont get the badge ? Well hope you got a picture of my skill set

Lets write good code together :D

p.s.: in 2006 I switched all my PCs from Windows to Linux distros: Mandriva, Ubuntu, Debian and stayed with Kubuntu or KDE neon since 2008. As soon as I understood OpenGL and heard a few of John D. Carmack's talks and also talks from Valve employees I knew gaming (which back then was my main hobby) was possible on GNU/Linux platforms. Obviously my main interest has shifted from playing games to building them or other software. Even if I have to use the binary blob (which is proprietary…) I can use VDPAU and encode/decode movies with my GPU etc. (I got a decent Ryzen setup with a 1070 GTX)
