About — in the speaker's own words
With a background as mechanical engineer and a PhD in material science, I describe myself as a mechanical engineer who can program and not as a software engineer. Started programming in Python, Perl, PHP and C++ as a pupil for fun in the end of the 90ths, I lost track of programming for some years during mechanical studies just to rediscover Python several years ago as a perfect tool for engineers to solve real-world problems in industrial production. The huge eco-system of Python and the intuitive syntax open new opportunities to me to combine domain knowledge in industrial processes with digitalization solution approaches. I enjoy sharing this with all people interested in improving industrial production in context of digitalization.
