Hey!

I'm Tristan, a 19-year-old software developer from Germany.

I began programming at the age of 11 and, at 15, was accepted into a special program at TUM, allowing me to attend computer science bachelor lectures. While still in high school, I achieved top grades alongside full-time students.

At 17, I joined the Check24 Code Club and participated in the Bundeswettbewerb für Informatik, a national computer science competition, where I won a second prize in the second round.
Due to my strong performance, I was then invited to the internal qualification process of the German delegation for the 2025 International Olympiad of Informatics.

I graduated from a Bavarian high school ranked second in my year with an Abitur score of 1.0 and subsequently interned for three months as a Data Scientist at Check24 AI Forge.

Currently, I am studying business at California State University Northridge as part of my academic gap year, before starting my bachelor's degree in computer science this fall.
