About

Hi, my name is Daniel Ostertag, but I use Dakes as my online username.

Computer Science

I am a developer and Linux/FOSS enthusiast, most proficient in Python , TypeScript and Bash , but also know a little bit of C and C++ . Recently I started to get into Rust at my workplace.
In 2021 I have completed my Bachelors Degree at the wonderful university in Landshut. Since then I have worked on a few personal projects and a paper in one of my most favourite fields: Image processing. For this paper, I even recieved the "Award for creativity" of the ICDD conference, where I presented it. HAW Landshut ICDD 2022 Artictle

Since 2023 I work for the company meteocontrol as an Embedded Software Developer on the Blue'Log. A device for the monitoring and controlling of PV plants. There I often use Typescript for the development of the software components. But these days I mostly develop the embedded Linux system itself with yocto.


Creative

As my passion for Image processing might suggest, I am also a hobby photographer. You can find some of my work, which I am most proud of here.
Besides Photography I also am a musician. I played Trumpet since being 6 years old, but recently also picked up the saxophone and now play mainly Alto and Baritone Saxophone.
I formerly played at the Jugendorchester Gersthofen in the A-Orchester and JUGGE Offbeat. Currently I play Alto Saxophone at the Gerry Fried Big-Band.
Furthermore, am I a big fan of Bonsai trees and a Bonsai Culturist and have cultivated quite a few bonsai in my ever growing collection.
