Hello there!

I'm Vincent, a computer science student and musician from Germany!

If you'd like to find out more about me, please take a look at my social media and feel free to contact me.

About me

My name is Vincent Stollenwerk and I'm currently doing my masters degree in Computer Science at RWTH Aachen. Besides my studies, I have interned at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and worked as a software developer at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz for two years. In general, I'm a highly curious person and always eager to learn. I love to learn about new technologies and try them out in my side projects.

Music

In my free time, I love to play and listen to music. For as long as I remember, I've been studying to play the piano at the Peter-Cornelius-Konservatorium Mainz (PCK). The PCK is also where I'm learning the tuba, which I started at the age of 10. For me, the rather orchestral and social way I play the tuba, and the comparatively soloistic nature of the piano, complement each other perfectly.

Currently, I'm part of the Landesjugendorchester Saar, the Bläserphilharmonie Aachen, the Collegium Musicum Aachen, and my brass quintet MainzlBrass. Additionally, I have played in the University Orchestra of TU Darmstadt, various youth orchestras, took part in two productions of the Staatstheater Mainz and played for AIDA cruises.

If you are interested in my playing or have any other questions, always feel free to contact me.
