Hi, I'm Nikolas
Fullstack Engineer with experience since high school, focused on Java backends and React frontends. I enjoy sharing knowledge and helping others grow, which is why I volunteer as a supervisor for interns and organize technical discovery days for school classes. Currently, I am exploring the practical integration of Data Science & AI into fullstack systems.
Technical Capabilities
Fullstack Engineering
Architecture and development of scalable systems. I bridge the gap between complex Java Spring Boot backends and React/Next.js.

My Journey
Exchange Semester at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway Aug. 2025 - current
I am currently attending an exchange semester at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway as part of my 5th semester. This experience allows me to immerse myself in a new academic environment, broaden my cultural horizons, and gain valuable international perspectives in the field of computer science. See more about my exhange semester here.
Studying computer science Oct. 2023 - current
I am pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science at DHBW Karlsruhe while simultaneously working at dmTECH. During my studies in the field of computer science at DHBW, I not only acquire solid theoretical knowledge but also have the opportunity to apply it directly in practice at my workplace. This unique combination of theory and practical experience is truly invaluable and allows for comprehensive professional growth. In addition, I serve as class representative, coordinating with peers and supporting academic and organizational lectures.
Software Engineer @dmTECH Jan. 2023 - jul. 2023
During my 6-month tenure at dmTECH, I actively contributed to Java Springboot and Apache Camel integrations, gaining valuable experience in (REST) API's, debugging and utilizing Git for version control. Taking the initiative to independently create a service was a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Additionally, I familiarized myself with Scrum and project management methodologies, further enhancing my software engineering skills.
Technical Highschool (Abitur) Graduated 2023
Attended a technical high school with a focus on STEM subjects. Served as class representative and graduated as the top student in my year. Participated in a one-week mathematics camp in Belgium to deepen analytical and problem-solving skills. Started coding early by developing Minecraft plugins, gradually moving to more complex projects such as scaling and administrating game servers for 100+ users.
