Simon Bernbeck
Software engineer and master’s student in Rio de Janeiro
I’m figuring things out as I go, and this is where I write about it.
I’m Simon — an engineer and master’s student in Informatics and Software Engineering at PUC Rio de Janeiro, originally from Germany. I tend to take the less obvious path, and this blog is where I share what I find along the way.
That includes things from my studies, personal projects that might be useful to someone else, and stories from life — travels, places I’ve been, challenges I’ve faced. The kind of things that help, or at least make you think.
What you’ll find here#
Studies & Projects#
Notes from my master’s in informatics, experiments with software and AI, and write-ups from things I’m building or learning.
Life & Travel#
Stories from traveling and from moments that turned out to matter — bikepacking in Rwanda and Uganda, living in Brazil, and whatever comes next.
Challenges & Reflections#
Honest accounts of things that were hard, confusing, or took longer than expected — shared in case they’re useful to someone going through something similar.
