Roberts Pauls Tohver

I love solving unique problems, especially through automation. My journey into tech started in school, but what really hooked me was streamlining repetitive tasks — first with clunky Excel VBA scripts, then later rewriting them in Python. Outside of work, I’m always tinkering — whether it’s experimenting with Raspberry Pis, automating my home, or 3D printing just for fun. I enjoy being in the office, where I can bounce ideas off people in real time (texting just doesn’t cut it for me). My colleagues would probably say I’m the guy who’s always happy to take on the small but important tasks that no one else wants to do. At the end of the day, I just like building things that make life easier — whether it’s for a team, a company, or just for fun.
