I'm a selftaught (web) developer. On sunny days, you can find me hiking through the Teutoburg Forest, on rainy days coding or with a good fiction novel in hand.
I'm using node-telegram-bot-api to do the communication part. You could also do that stuff manually, or even setup your own local bot api, see here: core.telegram.org/bots/api
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
