Please list any activities related to invention, technological innovation, innovative business plans, or creative accomplishment in the arts, aside from those you may have listed on the Common Application.
After I founded the company "Troubi Entertainment" there was a lot to discover. We are publishing our own apps for Android (iOS and Windows Phone are planned as well) and create websites. Working in a team and coordinating the time-tables was one of the major difficulties at the beginning, but we finally solved it by using fix meeting times (often via Skype) and by using Google Drive-Documents. I invite you to test all the Android apps I have made.
Why do you want to attend NYU-Poly?
I believe in computer science and its future, and I know that the NYU is an innovative university at which I am able to achieve my goals and realize my ideas. The NYU has a great focus on science and engineering - exactly what I want. Chances are high for me to find like-minded people and make them my friends and hopefully collaborate with them in the future.
Besides of that it fulfills all location aspects I have set to myself: near the east coast and in a large city.
Tell us why you selected your major or your area of interest.
I am totally in love with computer science. I spend a lot of time coding and I also try to understand the underlying concepts by reading comprehensive books. The last one I bought was "Modern Operating Systems." Virtually everything computer-science related fascinates me, but I find low-level concepts (OpenGL, operating systems, the C and assembly language) most interesting. I think science and art should not be separated, which is why I want to take design (-related) lectures.
How are you a 'PolyThinker'?
I truly believe that I am a PolyThinker in the way that I do not see things from only one perspective. Referring to my future major, I think that "science" does not captures all aspects of computer science, because there is also some "art" to it. Programs should perform fast *and* be user-friendly. It should be clear what is happening behind the scenes without annoying or irritating the user. Navigation needs to be clear and self-explanatory. I try to apply this ideology to most things I do.
If you could spend one day in New York City with a famous inventor, who would you like it to be, where would you go, and why?
My choice would fall to Andrew S. Tanenbaum. I have already read some of his books and they totally amazed me. In my eyes, he is a genius. Pondering with him on operating systems, programming languages and all the underlying theory is a real dream. I believe that I can learn a lot from him and I would be glad if I could also tell him something new he was not aware of, ye. It would not matter where we would go, maybe to the Central Park or a restaurant, it just has to be comfortable and calm.
