About me

Hey,

I am Simon Hennes, 25 years old and I live in Riedlin­gen (locat­ed between Lake Con­stance and Ulm, Ger­many). On this page I would like to intro­duce myself, who I am and what I do.

Since the begin­ning of my appren­tice­ship in 2011, I have been work­ing in the field of elec­tri­cal engi­neer­ing and automa­tion tech­nol­o­gy.

Since April 2020, I have been work­ing as a soft­ware devel­op­er for embed­ded sys­tems for a con­struc­tion machin­ery man­u­fac­tur­er in Bib­er­ach an der Riss.
