🦆 About me
🍩 Who am I?
Hi, my name is Ruben Fürst. I was born in 2000 and raised in a small town called Wiehl (near cologne), Germany.
In highschool I discovered my interrest in robotics and computer science, thats where I learned my first programming language Java.
During my senior years I participated as event technician at my school where I gained basic knowledge in sound, video and lighting event technology.
That was the time, where I also started working occasionally at GUS LAB GmbH (former blomesystem GmbH) alongside my school studies.
Here I learned team collaboration for software development and got new into the world of C# (.NET) and SQL.
My work included the development of special interfaces for laboratory database management in the areas of food control and infection desease protection. I even continued my work alongside my university years.
After school I started studying electrical engineering at the RWTH Aachen University.
