Hi, my name is

Mārtiņš

Research Assistant & Student

I am an aspiring software developer and Master’s student in Computer Science currently living in Germany. I love problem solving and learning new programming languages and technologies in the process.

About Me

I am currently focusing on my studies at University of Konstanz for a Master’s degree in Computer and Information Science. I have a strong interest in software engineering as well as DevOps and system administration knowledge for working on my personal projects. I am currently open for work and would love a part time position as a DevOps Engineer or Software Engineer while still being able to fully participate in my studies.

In my free time I work on my own projects while actively studying new programming languages and frameworks. Currently I am working through an Ansible course to better understand automation when it comes to system configuration, deployment and orchestration of advanced workflows.

My most familiar programming languages & technologies:
  • TypeScript
  • Express.JS
  • Node.JS
  • React.JS
  • Python
  • Django
  • Java
  • Spring Boot
  • C++
