Hi, I'm
Matt.

Molecular Biosciences Student Trained Mechanical Technician Developer

About Me

I am currently studying Molecular Biosciences at JKU Linz and PLUS, driven by a fascination for the building blocks of life and complex biological systems.

What sets my journey apart is my multidisciplinary background. Before diving into the life sciences, I built a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and software development.

When I am not in the lab or coding, you will find me at the climbing gym, where I also work as a certified climbing instructor and route setter, merging creativity with physical problem-solving.
