Niklas Vincent

About me

My name is Niklas Vincent and I love technology in all its forms.

When I was 11 I got a copy of the Borland Delphi IDE and started to play with Objective Pascal. Two years later I compiled my first Linux kernel from scratch in order to get my sound card working using ALSA instead of the (at the time) default OSS.

From there on I have spent thousands of hours playing with various programming languages and operating systems.

Today I work as a Software Engineer.
