A thirst for knowledge and understanding the world guided Stefan towards physics and math. Studying these topics confirmed it was the right direction, but (as he realises now) there was no immediate actionable insight to gain. Diving into a lake of data and finding patterns which can be used to make informed decisions is what really fills him with excitement.
There have been a lot of hobby projects and university courses that taught him the ins and outs of programming and visualizing data mostly in Python (matplotlib), but also some C++.
Problem solving is almost an obsession for him and it can be dangerous to state a problem around him, he will try to solve it.
