ABOUT
Hi. My name is Frieder and I'm passionate about coding, graphics, boardgames, and coffee.
I like to explore visual problems and finding simple solutions for them.
Especially in the field of real-time rendering where each decision has the potential for impacting the whole and creative thinking is a necessity.
I specialized for this during my studies and learned a lot when developing my first simple game engine and doing large-scale data visualization in my thesis.
My current employment as a software developer for immersive visualization at the RWTH allowed me to deepen this knowledge using new tools.
This includes the development of Unreal Engine-powered applications for VR glasses and immersive CAVE environments, as well as engineering individual solutions, and taking responsibility for partnerships.
For future prospects I look forward to deepening my knowledge and skill portfolio in developing visual applications.
PROJECTS
RWTH Aachen, Paper
