I am Felix Orosz, a 19-year-old computer science student from Germany. My interests include almost everything related to tech—programming, photography, video editing, PC components, and more.
Since 2022, I have worked several times at VDEh-Betriebsforschungsinstitut GmbH as a full-stack web developer, primarily during my school vacations.

- From a very early age, I was fascinated by computers and technology.
- As a child, I loved recording and editing videos using Avidemux and VideoPad. At one point, I even wanted to become a cameraman when I grew up.
- I grew up using Linux Mint and Windows XP, both of which significantly influenced my interest in technology.
- In primary school, a friend introduced me to Scratch, a simple block-based programming language. I started developing basic 2D games, which quickly became a hobby.
- Additionally, I enjoyed creating and editing videos for YouTube, regularly uploading entertainment and gaming-related content to several channels. This hobby eventually faded away.
- Until it had to be closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and organizational difficulties, I was active at a so-called “MakerSpace” in Kaarst every week since about 2018, where we worked on various projects, such as a smart home mirror. I learned a lot there - from microcontrollers to my first lines in the Python programming language - and always enjoyed taking part. I also got to know nice people who have supported me in my IT career to this day.
- While I had been using GitHub since 2017, I consider 2020 the year I became an active and enthusiastic programmer, largely due to the COVID-19 lockdowns.
- I started learning Python with this book and still enjoy working with the language today.
- I collaborated with small to medium-sized Discord communities to develop helpful bots for server administration and management. This sparked my interest in application programming interfaces (APIs).
- As part of a student internship, I developed a dashboard for an internal project at VDEh-Betriebsforschungsinstitut GmbH.
As stated on the website:
Krefeld's fourth major hackathon event, [Kreathon 2023], aims to make the world more convenient and, above all, more sustainable. SWK, Fressnapf, and the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences are providing a total of six challenges this year.
Simply put, you and your team choose one of several assignments and have 24 hours to develop a solution and prepare a presentation.
Our team chose the challenge "Life Cycle Assessment of Sustainable Packaging." We developed an app that allows users to scan a product and evaluate its eco-friendliness. The code can be found at https://github.com/kreathon23.
- In 2024, I successfully graduated from grammar school (Gymnasium).
- During my studies, I received an exclusive certificate from the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. for my "herausragenden Leistungen im Fach Informatik" (Outstanding Achievements in Computer Science).
- Since autumn 2024, I have been studying computer science (Informatik) at the Hochschule Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences (HSNR) in Krefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia.
- My team and I participated in a robotics competition and placed 7th out of 85 teams. Details, the code, and a video can be found at https://github.com/fxoz/esp.
Note: I have only been active on this GitHub profile since the end of 2024, as I want to separate personal matters from public, academic and professional matters.
