Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFerdinand Schober is a master's student in computer science with a mathematics minor, building on a Bachelor’s in CS from FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and seven years of practical experience. He has combined industry work as a junior consultant at PRODATO with academic roles, including a multi-semester tutor position in system programming and a bachelor thesis on hardware abstraction for just-in-time compilation. Ferdinand contributes to systems-focused open-source projects—most notably a Wayland-based LAN mouse/keyboard sharing server where he implemented core backend, TCP protocols and input capturing—reflecting strong low-level and networking skills. Based in Nuremberg, he pairs theory and hands-on engineering, comfortable moving between OS-level programming and backend system design. An intriguing hint of his debugging mindset appears in his Github bio’s kernel-like pagefault snippet, suggesting a deep interest in system internals.
