Hello!
My name is Patrick and im a Nerd.
This Website Documents some of the Projects i made.
A quick glance at my life.
I was born 1987 in Austria and had since an early age a fascination with Technology but we hadn't the Money to buy a Computer for me. When i got a bit older I got cheap V-Tech Computer which i took apart to see how it worked.
In Elementary School I was always a good pupil and had good grades. I had my problems with German and Geography but I could overcome those problems. With my Grandpa did a lot of hiking and crafting, he was a carpenter which made a lot of fun.
With 10 Years old I went to in High School. Because of my laziness I had bad grades and had to switched to Secondary School where my grades greatly improved and I finished the School successfuly.
After I finished Secondary School with 15 I began an Apprenticeship as a Car Body Worker where I also learned the Basics of electronics. Unfortunately I could not finish the Apprenticeship because the Company closed.
After the abortion of my Apprenticeship I took a Year off from Working and started my journey in the Computer Scene. A Friend of mine teached me Linux and Hacking he pushed me in the right direction so I would learn by using google by myself.
I celebrated my first successful WIFI Hacks and continued my journey in Linux Administration in deploying my own Web Servers. I was also very active in the Download Scene at that Time. This continued for a couple of Years until i got into Arduino, Raspberry und other Microcontroller for Home automation and Hacking.
Now, at 37 years old, my goals have changed a bit, and I'm satisfied with the small things in life, like meeting with my family and having a nice evening binge-watching series like Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. I also enjoy anime like One Punch Man and Mob Psycho.
I'm satisfied with helping others with their IT problems and building DIY solder kits from Amazon and AliExpress, which feels like meditation for me. I also enjoy playing some good old games on my emulator, like NES, SNES, and PSX, for a nice evening with friends or alone. Additionally, I enjoy reading on my e-book reader, which I got from my mum.
My biggest aim at the moment is to learn coding, get certifications in cybersecurity, and become an ethical hacker, using my skills for good. I've previously learned everything on my own with the help of Google, YouTube, and some friends who are already deep in the cybersecurity world.
Where do I see myself in 10 to 15 years? I'm not sure, but my biggest goal is to get a caravan equipped with a 3D printer and head to Africa to print prosthetics for the e-NABLE project (http://enablingthefuture.org/), which creates prosthetics for children in need. If that doesn't work out, I want to build analog synthesizers like Bob Moog.
