About

Law student, developer, and the person behind Daki.

§ 01 overview

Hello, I'm Niclas, a 19-year-old student from Germany with a passion for technology. I'm studying Recht der Digitalisierung (LL.B.) at Hochschule Schmalkalden, a law degree built around IT law, data protection and the regulation of new technologies.

Alongside my studies I run Daki, a hosting platform that started out as a free home for Discord bots and now also hosts apps, scripts and game servers.

My interest in technology goes back to my early years. I've always been fascinated by hardware, and spent a lot of time taking older components apart to understand how they work. That curiosity turned into programming, programming turned into Daki, and running servers for other people showed me how much law sits underneath technology.

Where law meets code

Recht der Digitalisierung combines a classic grounding in business law with the legal questions of digital technology: how data may be processed, how platforms are regulated, and what the AI Act means for the software being built today. It's the other half of what I do with servers and code.

What's next

Right now: get the most out of my degree and keep growing Daki. Long term, I want to work where legal and technical understanding are both needed (data protection, IT compliance, legal tech) and keep building my own projects on the side.
