Hello, I'm Leon 👋🏻
I'm a Fullstack Developer from Düsseldorf working mostly on desktop and web apps.
about
Who am I?
I have a passion for the web and my work focuses on building complex web and desktop applications. To me, good user experience is essential for a successful product. Additionally accessibility and testing are particularly important to me.
I graduated from the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in Mannheim in 2019 with a bachelors degree in Computer Science. During my studies, I worked as a software tester at the supermarket discounter ALDI SOUTH and wrote my bachelor's thesis about using natural language processing to find errors in written documents.
Since 2019, I work at sipgate and am involved in the development of CLINQ, a collaborative softphone available for both desktop and mobile.

What's my tech stack?Technologies I have worked with in the past 8 years
hobbiesmore than a developer
Outside of work, I have always been very competitive and therefore tried a lot of different sports. During my school years, I practiced judo, played field hockey for five years, and (having two older sisters) learned partner dancing for four years.I even played a supporting role in a musical production of "Grease". Despite my less-than-stellar singing abilities, it was an incredibly fun experience to act and perform. But one of my proudest moments was when I embarked on a challenging adventure with some friends and cycled from Düsseldorf, Germany to Venice, Italy in 21 days.
Besides doing a lot of different sports, I enjoy traveling, exploring different cultures, and trying delicious food. When I'm not in the mood for adventure, I like to listen to audiobooks. I've been a huge sci-fi and fantasy audiobook nerd ever since my dad introduced me to his CD and cassette collection of Jules Verne. Nowadays, I listen to a lot of English audiobooks in an effort to improve my English skills and grown fond of Brandon Sanderson's books in particular.

Project 'eve'
06/2018 - 7 years ago
"Eve" is our chatbot that uses a mix of artificial intelligence and pre-defined responses to mimic realistic conversations between students. The project was part of a three-month university course called "Software Engineering II". Users can ask questions and receive answers that are either pre-defined or procedurally generated. These answers are influenced by the user's previous messages.Read more

Project 't2m'
06/2017 - 8 years ago
As part of our university course on "Software Engineering I", we developed a music generator called "Text2Music." The goal of this project was to make news articles more engaging by summarizing them with appropriate music, while also overcoming copyright concerns and the time-consuming process of searching for music.Read more
