Virtual worlds

IT was practically born into the cradle of FH Burgenland student Daniel Schreiner.

He was fascinated by hardware from a very early age.

I have always been fascinated by the fact that it is possible to create this virtual world using various components. It is built by us humans and provides us with computing power that virtually goes beyond our limits.

He began programming as a hobby at a young age. After four years in Norway, he started a Bachelor's degree in IT Infrastructure Management at the Burgenland University of Applied Sciences in autumn 2020. "I learnt a lot about business administration during my studies. In terms of IT, the depth of content brought me a lot and the context was made clear by the programme," he says.

Daniel also took part in job application coaching during his studies. This is designed to help students find a suitable internship. Daniel was so convincing at the simulated job interview at the Federal Computing Centre that he was immediately offered a permanent position.

"I then switched from the full-time option to the part-time organisational form due to the new job," says Daniel. He is now employed as a test and security engineer at the Federal Computing Centre.

The customers of the BRZ include federal ministries and the AMS. Products that are supported include websites such as Finanz online.

In order for the websites to work, they have to be tested for security time and again. I am currently investigating which of these tests could be carried out automatically.

The thoroughbred technician particularly enjoyed the network part of the degree programme. "We also had a lot of object-orientated programming, set up servers, configured switches and much more." He is now looking forward to the specialisation in the fifth semester: security and cryptography.
