I’m Michael Böhme, theoretical chemist 👨🏻🔬 and self-employed software developer 👨🏻💻 from Jena 💚, Germany. After 12 years of scientific research in computational magnetochemistry at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena 🧲, I went independent in 2026 to develop and sell my chemistry software shapeXT. 💎 You can visit www.shapeXT.com to explore the software, or have a look at my personal website to learn more about my scientific background. 🧪
Besides, I’ve loved to code since I was 10 years old. 👦🏻 I learned to program on an old Commodore C64 👾 with the help of the great C64 User's Guide. 📖 Nowadays, I mostly work with C++23, Python, and 3D graphics programming in Vulkan 🌋 (plus occasional BASH scripts or gnuplot 📈). My former "secret project" 😎 officially launched in October 2026: shapeXT brings high-performance 3D structure visualization, interactive crystallography, and quantum-chemical orbital rendering to Windows, macOS, and Linux! 🚀🖖
