About me
A few key facts
Hi, I'm Justus Bergermann
I'm glad you found your way to my website! Since my early youth, I've been interested in almost all fields related to technology. Programming, computer science, and technologies are therefore not only part of my studies and side job but also a part of my free time.
Even though I've already accumulated a range of skills, I'm always open to more knowledge and believe it's important to stay on top of technological developments.
I'm good at diving into new fields with great interest and tackling new challenges. In addition to my previous work as a student assistant at a renowned research institute, I’m also pursuing a second degree in IT security alongside my regular Master's in Computer Science. This step allows me to expand and combine the broad knowledge base from my computer science master's with very specific knowledge in the area of IT security.
This may all sound like the typical computer nerd with pale skin, but my social engagement as a volunteer firefighter and in church youth work makes me more of a "Geek+" in reality. Additionally, my scholarship from a talent development organization shows that I have a life outside of ones and zeros.
TL;DR:
I’m excited about new things and have already gained some experiences both professionally and socially.

My Skills
Hardskills
Git, GitLab and GitHub
I can't do without it. I manage all software projects with Git and can create CI/CD pipelines.
Microsoft Office
Word, PowerPoint and other.
Photography & Image Processing
Technical know-how in photography and basics with the common Adobe programs such as Photoshop or Lightroom.
Programming Languages
I have already worked a lot with C, C++, Pyhton and Java/Kotlin. However, the language in which the code is written is ultimately rather unimportant.
Android App Development
I know the basics of Android app development with Java/Kotlin.
IoT & Embedded Systems
In this area, I have mainly gained experience with microcontrollers, especially in the course of prototyping in a research context, but also through private tinkering.
Docker
Containerization offers advantages in many areas, especially in development. That's why I use Docker containers regularly and create my own images.
Research & Science
Through my work as a student trainee and of course through my studies, I have already gained experience in research and scientific work. This includes, for example, software such as Matlab or creating publications with Latex.
My Work in Progress
I'd like to learn more about this
Cybersecurity
The principles are clear, of course, but I would like to learn more about them. I find topics such as cryptography or eliminating vulnerabilities in systems very interesting.
Update: This construction site is in progress with the start of my master's degree in IT security from WS 2024/25 ;-)
Server Administration and Selfhosting
I host a few websites myself (such as this one) and administer servers and software for the Breckerfeld volunteer fire department. I would like to gain more knowledge in this area.
Webdevelopment
HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript and corresponding frameworks such as React, Vue and the like are still not foreign concepts to me.. I'm certainly no web developer, but at least I've already built my own website using an open source web application as a basis (see Portfolio)
