the story so far · Limmattal, Switzerland

Enis Shorra

I am 18 and training to be an application developer. I still want to know how everything works.

or go straight to the facts


As a kid I asked it about everything: how does this work?

Age three

I was three when my father showed me the computer.

All I wanted was to play games.

Then I wanted to know how the games worked.

Then how everything else worked. That part never stopped.

Enis at three, standing on a step stool at the family computer, both hands on the mouse. His father's hand rests on his back. The red mouse cable runs into the computer.

Growing up

After the first games on Y8, I wanted to see behind the screen.

Facebook. I wanted to know how passwords work and how an account stays safe.

TutuApp. My friends and I got our apps from outside the official store.

Tor. What is the darknet, and how does it even work?

Counter-Strike. And CS, of course.

None of it was a plan. I was just curious.

2021 to 2024

Bezirksschule at the Kreisschule Mutschellen.

Three years at a school desk. After that I went to the IMS in Baden.

how I work

What you can expect from me.

I expect people to be reliable. So I make sure they can count on me too.

  1. I test what I ship.

    Quizlot, NoteVault and LockBox all have their own tests.

  2. I rebuild when I learn something better.

    LockBox 2 switched to AES-256-GCM. NoteVault moved to EF Core and SQLite on .NET 10.

  3. I explain what I know.

    I have been tutoring at Lernakademie Oase since February 2026.

  4. I use AI, and I check what it gives me.

    It helps me learn and try things faster. What I hand in, I understand and test first. This website was built that way.

  5. I start things myself.

    websiten.ch is my own web design business.
