Hi, I’m Dominik Dierberger

Backend developer • Python • Java • C#

About Me

I’m Dominik, a motivated and adaptable junior backend developer currently studying Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at HSLU. I thrive in small, agile teams where I can take ownership of projects and apply my skills in Python, Flask, FastAPI, and database engineering. Outside of my professional work, I’m passionate about clean code, creative problem-solving, and continuous learning.

On a personal note, I share my life with my cats who keep me grounded and entertained, and I enjoy cooking, making music as a drummer, pianist, and guitarist, playing poker, and building custom PCs. Technology and creativity are at the center of both my work and hobbies, and I’m always excited to learn something new. :)

Experience

HSLU & Independent Projects

November 2025 to Present

Currently studying Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Alongside my studies, I work on practical software and data projects in data science, relational databases, cybersecurity, and full-stack development. My current focus is on building stronger foundations in software architecture, data modelling, machine learning workflows, and structured problem solving.

In parallel, I am independently developing a 3D voxel roguelike game in Unity with C#. The project serves as a long-term passion project where I implement gameplay logic, character classes, object-oriented components, prototyping systems, and first 3D and voxel assets.

Internship Development Paris

FutureLog — 22.09.2022 to 09.10.2022

As part of a short-term internship at FutureLog’s Paris office, I had the opportunity to work in an international environment and gain valuable intercultural experience. I supported backend development tasks and familiarized myself with CI/CD pipelines, laying an early foundation for modern deployment practices. In parallel, I helped relocate the office to a new building, assisting with hardware setup and technical infrastructure. This also included providing local IT support to ensure a smooth transition. Immersing myself in a different work culture helped strengthen my adaptability and communication skills in a multilingual setting.

Projects

Steam Player Retention Dashboard

DSPRO project at HSLU analyzing long-term video game player retention with Steam, SteamCharts, Steam news, and IGDB data. The system collects Steam games, filters active titles with at least 100 current players, stores monthly player history, and presents the results in an interactive Svelte data story. In the next project phase, the dashboard will be extended with an LLM-supported prognosis that considers update frequency, company context, community signals, and player activity trends.
