Hey it's me, Rico!
Building as software developer and living as sports enthusiast
This is me
What I do
What keeps me busy at work and in my free time.
Software Development
I work as a software developer for a software service provider in Osnabrück (Germany), building large-scale software projects for our clients.
Coding Private Projects
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time coding on personal projects—sometimes useful, sometimes just for fun or to learn and test something new.
Content Creation
A while ago I started sharing content online. I think it's helpful when people share what they know—everyone explains things differently, and that helps others learn. Plus, it helps me rethink topics, put my thoughts into words, and connect with others.
Play Basketball
I play basketball in a league team here in Germany at a semiprofessional level. It’s intense training several times a week and everything that comes with serious competition, including long drives to games at the weekend.
Cycling & Bikepacking
After buying my first gravel bike — the first bike that really made cycling a sport for me — I quickly grew to love it as a balance to indoor and team sports. Now I also have a road bike, rack up quite a few kilometers each year, and enjoy bikepacking as well as pushing into ultra-distance rides.
Building a Smarthome
Starting up with a few Philips Hue lights when I moved out, I continued to expand my smarthome setup with more device. Running on Home Assistant on my Raspberry Pi, I now have a lot time spent on automating (and breaking) my home setup.
