Well yes... this is me. Who else did you expect?
This is me...
This is me...
I'm Justin Lanfermann, a 21-year-old Computer Science student currently studying at the Technical University of Munich.
My early and sustained fascination with computing led me to explore beyond standard software, delving into system internals and early programming. Through persistent self-directed learning, I developed foundational skills in software development and system administration, evolving from initial explorations to managing complex projects.
As I continued to push the boundaries of my skills, my projects grew in complexity, evolving from simple applications to full-fledged endeavors. Even today, I remain committed to learning and exploring new technologies, always striving to improve and expand my expertise.
Beyond my passion for technology, I have a creative side that I enjoy nurturing. Although I was musically illiterate for years, I eventually taught myself to play the piano and have since become proficient in various pieces. I also find solace in 3D design, particularly in Blender, my software of choice. I've created numerous designs, ranging from hard surface modeling to sculpting and character creation, a process that I find both engaging and rewarding.
I possess a strong aptitude for teaching and knowledge sharing. Throughout my academic journey, I have actively tutored peers, formalizing this experience through a Bavarian state initiative where I supported a mathematics class for six months, contributing to their academic success. I also provided private tutoring in mathematics, English, and IT.
At university, my inclination toward teaching has only intensified. What started as a humble initiative to help a few classmates has grown into a thriving community with over 100 members who rely on us for guidance, support, and answers to their questions. This support group, which grew faster than I could have ever anticipated, has become an essential resource for its members, providing a space for them to ask general questions, seek advice, and connect with like-minded individuals. I also host unofficial tutoring and exam prep courses, which have become an integral part of our community. I had the honor of working as an official tutor for the "Introduction to Programming" course at TUM, a role that allowed me to share my knowledge and inspire others, and I now tutor the "Operating Systems and System Software" course to help students navigate concurrency, scheduling, and Linux tooling in practice.
Alongside my studies, I actively balance employment and entrepreneurship. I have worked with companies ranging from early-stage startups to established firms, gaining hands-on experience in product delivery and collaboration. These engagements fuel my own entrepreneurial projects, where I experiment with new business ideas, build prototypes, and explore how technology can create sustainable value.
