Summary
Nora Struck is an informatics researcher with 10 years of software engineering experience, currently working on embedded systems at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Passionate about low-level programming, Nora specializes in embedded Rust, C, C++ and FPGA work, enjoying the blend of hardware interaction and compiler-driven safety. Their background spans firmware, backend and frontend development from academic projects like FawnGuard to industry roles, reflecting a practical full-stack mindset applied to constrained systems. Trained in Germany and the Netherlands (BSc, ongoing MSc), Nora brings both hands-on tinkering—having taught themself Java in middle school—and formal research rigour to complex embedded challenges. A nonbinary engineer who describes themselves on GitHub as “Nonbinary person doing binary things,” they pair deep curiosity with a preference for solving real-world hardware-software puzzles.
