Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNikolas Wipper is a Berlin-based software engineer and Humboldt University CS student with eight years of hands-on experience spanning open-source game library development, cloud internships, and security tooling. Currently a student worker on Mozilla’s Crypto Engineering Team, he previously interned at AWS and built pentesting tools for Windows/Active Directory environments as a working student. An active contributor to the raylib ecosystem, he has refactored core math modules, improved cross-platform builds (including macOS static linking), and added HDR texture and cubemap mipmap support. Comfortable across systems, security, and bindings work (notably adapting raylib to Zig and improving API ergonomics), he blends low-level C/C++ familiarity with practical full-stack problem solving.
