Samuel Gfeller

I love to physically use my hands to build and repair things or have fun with them.
I'm obsessed with learning new skills such as juggling with six balls, solving the Rubik's Cube in less than 25 seconds, calisthenics or understanding music theory, and expressing emotions via the guitar.

I grew up on a farm and had a lot of fun learning about construction, machine repair, electricity, working with wood and metal, gardening, animal care, and much more.
Nature, especially the forest, is my happy place and gives me a lot of energy.

The things that I am most curious about are human psychology and philosophy and how computer programs work.
Software development was my career choice, and philosophy guides me to my purpose in life.

I finished an apprenticeship as application developer (VET) in 2020 and then studied for 3 years on my own with the internet how to develop a full stack web application with modern technologies in the best, most efficient, and maintainable way possible, guided by the creation process of the Slim Example Project.

The Single Responsibility Principle blew my mind on how simple and effective it is to write maintainable code. It became so much fun to code, and I'm immensely grateful to live in this era and to be privileged enough to pursue this passion with which I want to achieve great things.
