About

Hello! I’m Matthias von Borstel.

By day, I’m busy building and supporting effective software engineering teams. I work for a company specializing in drive technology and automation solutions, developing software to help customers automate their factories.

In my free time, I’m with my family, which means lots of playground visits, building Lego masterpieces, and reading children’s books (it’s actually pretty great). I’m also passionate about endurance sports, especially running and cycling, which keep my mind clear and body healthy. Right now, I clock in about 4 hours of exercise a week, and I’m aiming to increase that by 10% each year.

This blog is where I write about topics that interest me. Writing helps me clarify my thoughts, so it’s both a creative outlet and a way to organize my ideas.

So, why publish my thoughts? To be honest, I hesitated—putting my ideas out there feels a bit daunting. But if you’d like to get to know me better, this is the place to start. I’ll write about what I’ve done and what I still want to accomplish.

And who knows? If you enjoy what you read and want to connect, maybe we can team up on something!
