Victor Baumann<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hello! My name is Victor Baumann<\/strong>, and I\u2019m a 16-year-old student<\/strong> currently enrolled at G\u00f6teborgs Tekniska Gymnasium (GTG)<\/strong> in Gothenburg, Sweden, where I\u2019m pursuing the programming specialization track<\/strong>. From an early age, I\u2019ve been deeply interested in understanding how things work<\/strong>\u2014whether it was mechanical objects, digital systems, or natural phenomena. That curiosity led me to develop strong interests in mathematics<\/strong>, physics<\/strong>, and most of all, programming<\/strong>\u2014a field that brings together problem-solving, creativity, and logic in the most rewarding way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I find especially fascinating about programming is the opportunity it offers to build something meaningful from nothing but an idea. You start with a blank screen and, through structured thinking and code, create tools, games, applications, or systems that people can interact with and benefit from. To me, programming is not just a technical skill\u2014it\u2019s a form of digital craftsmanship<\/strong> that blends logic with design, precision with flexibility. Over the past couple of years, I\u2019ve explored several languages, including Python, JavaScript, and C++<\/strong>, and I\u2019ve recently started learning Rust<\/strong> out of personal interest in systems programming and performance-oriented applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of school, I like to work on small coding projects\u2014such as simple games, automation tools, or math-based simulations. One recent project I enjoyed was building a basic 2D physics engine as a way to combine my interests in physics and programming. I\u2019ve also dabbled in web development, where I appreciate the immediacy of building something visual and interactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, I completed a one-month internship at Volvo Trucks in Torslanda<\/strong>, where I worked in the \u201cslussen\u201d inspection department<\/strong>. There, I was responsible for conducting final checks on trucks before delivery\u2014ensuring that small details and essential components were properly assembled, labeled, and secured. While not directly related to programming, the experience was invaluable. I learned about industrial processes, lean manufacturing principles, workplace safety, and quality assurance standards<\/strong>. It also taught me the importance of collaboration and clear communication<\/strong> in a professional environment. Working alongside experienced technicians and engineers gave me insight into how complex products are built and maintained at scale, and it helped reinforce the value of precision, responsibility, and systems thinking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also very interested in the intersection of hardware and software<\/strong>. I often explore platforms like Arduino<\/strong> and Raspberry Pi<\/strong>, where I can write code that interacts with the physical world\u2014whether that\u2019s through sensors, motors, or LEDs. I\u2019m especially intrigued by how these tools are used in robotics, IoT devices, and automation systems. Long-term, I see myself working in a field that combines engineering and software<\/strong>\u2014possibly robotics, autonomous systems, or embedded development\u2014where I can continue building tools that solve real-world problems and improve efficiency or quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of soft skills, I\u2019d describe myself as analytical, detail-oriented, reflective, and highly motivated<\/strong>. I take pride in finishing what I start and pushing myself to understand things deeply rather than just on the surface. I enjoy collaborating with classmates and discussing how to solve problems from different perspectives. I also value continuous learning<\/strong>, and I actively seek out new concepts to explore, whether that\u2019s through online courses, reading, or trying out new tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m not studying or coding, I like to read about science, technology, and history. I\u2019m especially interested in how engineering has shaped the modern world\u2014from ancient mechanical inventions to modern-day computing. I also enjoy strategy and logic-based games like chess, Factorio, and Cities: Skylines, which give me a chance to apply systems thinking in fun and complex environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, I\u2019m someone who loves learning, building, and solving problems. I\u2019m excited to continue developing both my technical and personal skills, and I\u2019m eager to be part of projects\u2014now and in the future\u2014that make a real impact. Whether it\u2019s in tech, industry, or research, I want to contribute meaningfully by designing solutions that are thoughtful, efficient, and forward-thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver Arnesen H\u00f6g<\/strong>\u00e5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hey, I\u2019m Oliver Arnesen H\u00f6g<\/strong>\u00e5, I\u2019m 16 years old<\/strong>, and I currently study at G\u00f6teborgs Tekniska Gymnasium (GTG)<\/strong>, in the programming specialization track<\/strong>. I\u2019m in the same class as Victor Baumann. While I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m the biggest fan of traditional school subjects, I\u2019ve found something that really keeps me motivated: coding<\/strong>. There\u2019s something incredibly satisfying about being able to make something functional and real just by writing lines of text. Programming feels like building a machine out of ideas, and I\u2019m drawn to it because it\u2019s both useful and creative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve never been the type of student who loves sitting through long lessons or memorizing theory for its own sake. But give me a practical task, a challenge, or something I can figure out hands-on, and I\u2019m all in. That\u2019s how I approach most of my learning\u2014I like to experiment, test things out, and learn from experience<\/strong>. I\u2019ve learned basic programming concepts in school and also picked up a lot on my own by following online tutorials and trying out small personal projects. I\u2019ve worked in Python, JavaScript, and Lua<\/strong>, and I enjoy making games, utility scripts, and simple web apps<\/strong> that solve everyday problems or just entertain me and my friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most valuable experiences I\u2019ve had recently was a three-week internship at Volvo Trucks in Torslanda<\/strong>, where I worked in truck assembly, known as \u201ccain building.\u201d<\/strong> I got to be part of a team on the production line, helping put together large mechanical systems with precision and consistency. Even though it wasn\u2019t directly related to programming, it gave me a real understanding of how industrial systems are run<\/strong>, how important each team member is in the bigger picture, and how complex and interconnected large manufacturing environments are. I learned how to follow technical instructions, meet production goals, and work effectively under pressure<\/strong>\u2014skills that I think are just as important as technical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I really appreciate about tech is that it doesn\u2019t always require you to be a genius in math or theory\u2014you just need to be curious, persistent, and willing to try things out<\/strong>. For me, programming isn\u2019t just about writing code. It\u2019s about making things happen<\/strong>, solving problems, and sometimes just having fun building something cool. I\u2019ve worked on some small team projects with friends where we built basic games or automation scripts, and I really enjoy the collaborative aspect of that kind of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, I\u2019m still figuring out exactly what I want to do, but I know it will involve technology, building things, and being part of something real<\/strong>. I\u2019m interested in areas like game development, software engineering, and possibly even hardware-related tech<\/strong> like robotics or automotive systems. I could see myself working in a company where I help develop digital tools or systems, but I\u2019m also open to starting something on my own one day. The idea of building a product or service from scratch and seeing people use it is something that motivates me a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of school and tech, I enjoy gaming<\/strong>, watching YouTube videos about engineering, design, and innovation<\/strong>, and spending time with friends. I like to stay curious and follow what\u2019s going on in the world of tech\u2014whether it\u2019s AI, EVs, or open-source projects. I think the world is changing fast, and there are more opportunities than ever to make an impact through technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I had to describe myself, I\u2019d say I\u2019m hands-on, practical, independent, and driven by curiosity<\/strong> rather than tradition. I might not be the most academic student, but when I care about something, I\u2019ll dive deep into it, learn what I need to, and stick with it until I get the result I want. I believe that learning by doing<\/strong> is often the best way to grow, and I\u2019m looking forward to continuing that journey in school, in work, and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
