About Me
I'm a software developer with over 20 years of experience, passionate about teaching and building tools that make complex topics accessible. From chess engines to game development to algorithmic trading systems, I love diving deep into challenging problems and sharing what I learn.
After a career as an industry executive, I went independent in 2020 and founded Digital Decode GmbH in 2022, where I build custom software and AI-powered automation solutions. I'm also a bestselling Udemy instructor and the creator of the Vice Chess Engine, which has inspired dozens of derivative projects in the chess programming community.
Featured Project
Vice Chess Engine
Video Instructional Chess Engine
A didactic chess engine written in C, built through an 87+ episode YouTube tutorial series. Vice is designed as a teaching tool — walking viewers through every aspect of chess engine programming from board representation to search algorithms. It has inspired dozens of derivative engines and remains one of the most popular resources for learning chess programming.
