# About

My name is Lucas Oelker and I’m a software developer currently studying Visual Computing and Design in Lippstadt, Germany. Programming, rendering, or web design — if it requires a computer and some creative thinking I’m interested!

I have a deep passion for programming and I like solving problems. I first started learning Java and the basics of web development in high school. Today I’m studying Visual Computing and Design, which allows me to think about the integrated approach to the conception and development of technical systems as well as their conceptual and design perspective.

Between June and September 2024, I completed an internship at the Painless Developments GmbH in Berlin, where I worked as a Gameplay Programmer and Backend Developer.

  • Leaderboard Backend & Dashboard

    During my internship at Painless Developments, I developed the backend and management dashboard for the leaderboard of a mobile puzzle game.
    I built a scalable RESTful API using Rust and Actix Web to enable secure and efficient CRUD operations, with authentication managed through JSON Web Tokens. The React dashboard provides administrators with an intuitive interface for seamlessly managing leaderboard data.
