Hi! I'm Charlotte, and I am currently employed as a Backend Engineer at Tür an Tür Digitalfabrik gGmbH, focused on building and maintaining the Integreat CMS. In 2017, I co-founded H2 WebDesign, a boutique web design and web development studio. This has not only taught me to be able to work independently while staying highly motivated, but familiarized me with the responsibilities of realizing all phases of clients' projects, from conception to completion.
My ideal tech stack is based on rust & nix. I practically live in the terminal (NeoVim, my beloved!), and I will evangelize NixOS and open-source software to you if you give me the chance.
In my spare time, I am usually either working on my own Projects, playing cello, or tending to my vegetable garden.

This includes this site, as well as the mail server for this domain.
RobMCF greedy solver
pure rust & bevy RobMCF solver
As part of my master's thesis, a solver for a computationally hard graph problem was devised and implemented in rust.
Additionally, an interactive visualization and debugging tool was implemented using bevy.
projectmgr.nvim
NeoVim project switcher
A NeoVim plugin allowing you to quickly switch between projects, automate startup- and shutdown tasks, and restore sessions upon reopening of the editor. Currently 120+ stars on GitHub.
Sudoku SAT Compiler
solve highly customized Sudoku variants
As part of my bachelor's thesis, a domain specific language was devised and a parser and compiler implemented. They allow for the encoding and automated solving of almost arbitrary variations of Sudoku, including variations orders of magnitude more difficult to solve than the base game.
barely
a static site generator
barely is a lightweight, but highly extensible static site generator written in pure python.
It was built out of frustration with existing tools, and has seen productive use at H2 WebDesign for a number of client projects.
The site you are currently viewing has been built with barely.
