Looking for a way to automatically (or semi automatically) update my project's dependencies on my selfhosted Gitlab instance, I stumbled upon the opensource tool Renovate Bot. Renovate Bot works with most git hosting platforms (public or selfhosted) and as it's also possible to host Renovate Bot yourself because it's open source as well, it looked like the perfect choice...

It all started when I decided on my Matura paper topic. (The Matura paper is a graduation paper one does in Swiss high schools.) My goal was to improve the schools infrastructure or at least to come up with a possible solution for this. Our school's infrastructure for storing and distributing files was ― until now ― nothing more than a blank WebDAV-Server. Most not-so-techie students and teachers don't know how to use this and it has bugs and problems quite chronically. Honestly, you can't expect regular users to know how to set up and configure a network drive and if it has problems regularly, how should people know if they are doing it wrong or if it's a problem of the infrastructure?

At High School I got the Chance to do a two-week trial internship. We practiced during a block week to apply for it.

I'm interested in computer science since my childhood. Since I'm already investing a lot of time and effort in my second passion due to the fact that I have chosen to focus on music at High school, it was clear to me to do this internship in computer science.
My interests in computer science and especially in the related security aspects have been proven by the internship.
