About me

I'm Patrik Fimml, a Computer Engineering student at Vienna University of Technology, and here's some random stuff I decided to put on the web. You can reach me at patrik@fimml.at (also using encrypted mail).

Interests

Anything close to the hardware-software boundary, such as systems programming and embedded systems engineering. How to break complex systems into simple components.

Programming contests

I participate in programming contests from time to time. Here's a list of resources for anyone interested.

Contests

• International Olympiad of Informatics for high-school students (Austrian division)
• Croation Open Competition in Informatics
• Google Code Jam (online)
• Catalysts Coding Contest (various places in and outside Austria and on-line)

Practice

• Training program of the USA Computing Olympiad

Projects

Non-exhaustive list of software I wrote. Since there is so much PHP, I feel obliged to say non-representative as well.
