About me

Hello, my name is Simon. Welcome to my website, where I write about things that interest me. It does not matter if it is fantasy, photography, or sports. Because of the current situation, I cannot do many of my favorite things. I spent a lot of time upgrading my desk setup and making my living spaces as user-friendly and beautiful as possible.

I am currently living in Vienna, and I am studying Visual Computing at the TU Wien. During my Bachelor’s Program, I spent one semester abroad (Erasmus) at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in Madrid and during my Master Program one (Joint-Study) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the USA.

I love doing sports. I am a part of the Judo Club ASKÖ Reichraming and am currently redesigning, maintaining and improving the website. (You can look at my Statistics) But I do not only stay inside. Sometimes I even go outside. My favorite activities include skiing, highlining, and wakeboarding. I also sometimes go running to keep my fitness.

In my free time, I love traveling, and I have seen some incredible places so far. For example, I used Interrail tickets in Italy, Switzerland, and Spain, took a surf course in Portugal, attended the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play in London, and celebrated Christmas and New Year in the Caribbean. But my favorites so far were the road trips through North America with my brother and my girlfriend. During traveling, I also like to take pictures and edit them with Lightroom and Photoshop.

I (sometimes) tweet at @IPPON001 about the thing that is on my mind. You can also look at my programming projects on GitHub. I mainly focus on visualization and computer graphics.
