This website is meant to satisfy my need to leave some sort of documentation of my existance. One that I have full control over. You have to excuse my inabilty to write without making mistakes, I may be beyond dyslexic. Also, as you may have noticed, the website is in it's "early access" stage, so hyperlinks to nowhere will be common throughout the site. Sorry :p
I love to discuss all things rail, engineering in general, music and photography.
My most recent project at my University revolved around planning a "Strecke" or line that runs between two other pre-existing lines, while also connecting two residentail areas in the process. The ~15km double track and electrified line was created with the help of CAD overlayed with the "Programmsystem für Verkehrs- und Infrastrukturplanung" (ProVI). As this was a group project I unfortunatley share pictures/screenshots, as these are protected under privacy laws. In my opinion the program feels generally unpolished, and helpful information is scarce, if not impossible to find. Once you do a bit of experimentation, things go much smoother. Which was helpful whenever it turned out I needed to redo some of the planning :).
Each group also had to submit a report detailing the planning process, issues, etc. Our group used LaTex for the report, which may or may not have given me some motivation to learn to code in HTML and CSS, as creating your own personal format and design intrigues me quite a lot.
I recently had a work trip to Hamburg, more specifically, to the sections of track under the managment of the Hamburg Port Authority. I can't go into much detail about what work was done, but the basics of it was checking the state of the actual rails themselves. Hamburg itself is a very nice city, definetly very different than Berlin. I got to ride the ferry, and food was cheap. Almost didnt make it home because the trains got cancelled due to damage to the caterary on the line back to Berlin. Mine was magically brought back from the dead (the DB found a detour). It even made it without more than a minute of delay, which for anyone who knows the DB is well aware how rare this is haha.
