Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAngelo Papenhoff is a computer scientist and retrocomputerist based in Berlin with 14 years of experience exploring computer architecture, languages, and software archaeology. Trained in comparative linguistics and Ancient Greek alongside a CS degree from Humboldt University, he combines humanities-style reconstruction with hands-on engineering—writing simulators in software and FPGA, reverse-engineering game code, and curating technical aspects of an Old Lithuanian etymological dictionary. His work sits at the intersection of historical research and modern graphics and systems programming, with a particular fascination for how computing culture and languages evolved. Angelo frequently gives talks on these topics and brings a rare blend of philological rigor and low-level technical craftsmanship to complex reverse-engineering and simulation projects.
