About Me — Tom Fenske
An engineer discovering the world of online writing
Hi fellow writers,
I’m happy to be able to introduce myself to this community. My name is Tom, I’m 32 years old, and I am a full-time power plant engineer. I live together with my son and my fiancee in a small city south of Berlin, Germany.
My Medium story
I have to admit I stumbled upon this platform of Medium almost by accident. In the spring and early summer of last year, I was doing an online course to learn more about Data Science and work with some tools by myself. I started the course because I’m generally interested in the field, and thought it would be advantageous in my job. When searching online for some Data Science-related topics, I landed on this page called Medium. I eventually signed up to read more than the three free articles and can say that I fell in love with this platform ever since. I still am overwhelmed by the sheer volume of quality content on such a variety of topics. As said, I used it to find some additional insights on Data Science, but I shortly started to read about other topics like online businesses, personal stories, and life advice.
Since then, what rattled my cage was Medium's methodology, where anybody can publish an article on a topic he chooses and even can make money from it…
