I'm a student of business informatics (essentially, business administration and computer science) on a year of exchange in the US. I'm a huge fan of all things space, which includes spaceflight, astronomy and a lot of sci-fi. I'm also doing silly videos in my free time and enjoy a good book every now and then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Authored a paper on formation of the rogue planets

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk almost anything that has zero utility in the real world and I'd love to learn more about the things that are actually useful in life, but if you prefer to listen to me pontificating about how humanity should become multiplanetary that's fine with me too.
