I'm a developer based in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, currently working for a financial services provider with a mission to restore financial freedom.

About Me

My journey into coding began with a love for video games. Faced with the challenge of competing against players using automation software, I decided to learn these skills myself. What started as a way to level the playing field turned into a passion for problem-solving and ultimately led to my professional career in development.

What I Do

• 💻 Develop solutions that empower financial freedom
• 🧩 Approach coding as an exciting puzzle-solving exercise
• 🌱 Continuously learn and adapt to new technologies

Outside of Coding

When I'm not immersed in code, you'll find me:

• 🐕 Spending time with family and friends, especially our grumpy senior dog Sam (a 15-year-old Terrier Mix)
• 🎲 Enjoying board games and video games
• 🌍 Traveling to events and meetups
• 🏞️ Exploring nature as a member of the Association of Hikers
• 🎵 Singing with my local Choral Society
• 🌾 Supporting rural traditions through the Countryman's Association

MediaMultiVerse is a closed-source application designed to crawl and archive various types of media from different websites. It remains uncertain whether the project will transition to an organizational structure and permit external contributions. More or less this is my deep dive into Angular 18.

Closed Source for now, might change in the future.

Client-API is a .NET-based library designed to control external applications on Windows using the Windows API (WinAPI). Its primary purpose is to enable the creation of automated workflows for games and applications distributed through mobile markets. The framework consists of two main components:

• Client-API: A library containing all the necessary functions to interact with target applications.
• Client-Tools: A configuration tool that includes features such as a code generator, image validator, and encryption capabilities.

This project serves as a research initiative to explore WinAPI and learn how to interact with mobile games using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. Key features and aspects of the Client-API framework include:

• Windows API Integration: The library leverages WinAPI to manipulate and control external applications running on Windows.
• Automation Capabilities: It allows users to create automated workflows for games and mobile applications, potentially streamlining repetitive tasks or enabling bot-like functionality.
• OCR Implementation: The framework incorporates OCR technology to read and interpret text and visual elements from target applications, facilitating interaction based on screen content.
• Code Generation: The Client-Tools component includes a code generator, which likely assists in creating boilerplate code or scripts for specific automation tasks.
• Image Validation: The framework provides tools for validating images, which could be useful for ensuring the accuracy of OCR results or for comparing screen elements during automation.

As a research project, Client-API serves as a platform for exploring WinAPI functionality and developing skills in application automation and interaction.

It's important to note that while this framework provides powerful capabilities for automating and controlling external applications, users should be aware of potential legal and ethical considerations when interacting with third-party software, especially in the context of games and mobile applications.

Closed source due potential legal and ethical considerations.

• 2015 - 2020 Implementation in C# (.NET 4.8)
• 2016 - 2018 Use-Case Kritika: The White Knights (100% Implementation until end of 2018)

ScriptSDK is an implementation of external script-api for Stealth-Client.

Stealth-Client is a specialized game client developed in Delphi for Ultima Online. This custom client enhances gameplay by enabling automation of various in-game tasks and processes through integrated scripting languages, including Pascal Script and Python.

The creation of ScriptSDK was influenced by numerous community contributors and served as an educational project to explore the implementation of time-sensitive operations via an exposed API.

It´s open source and can be found here.

• 2021 - 2022 Implementation in Java 17 & Spring-Boot 2.7.1

RebirthUO was an Ultima Online free shard based on ServUO.

Many years ago, RebirthUO was a Ultima Online freeshard operated by a team including Tecmo, Ruaduck, and Crome696. The server offered a customized gameplay experience, utilizing various features from RunUO and ServUO.

RebirthUO provided players with unique features and benefits, including specialized newbie armor, skill and stat bonuses, and house placement options. Although the freeshard ceased operations around 2017, some of the individuals involved in its management have maintained a presence in the Ultima Online emulation community.

The server itself is closed source but tools and goodies for the scene might be released here.

• 2016 - 2017 Runnable service hosted and maintained through the team.
