Behind the code

This page is everything the technical side of me doesn't show. That is what I care about, my interests, where I've been to and a few moments I've captured along the way. Grab a coffee and have a look around!

Marleen smiling at camera

Hello there,

I'm Marleen Felber.

I am a second-semester Business Software Development student at FH Campus 02 with a passion for technology and capturing moments – whether that's through my digital camera or simply my iPhone. When I'm not studying or writing code, you'll most likely find me journaling or gaming or planning a trip I can't afford yet.

I've visited around 9 countries so far, but nothing has beaten my experience in the Maldives. There still is a whole list of places I want to go to, such as Hawaii, Seychelles, Tokyo and South Korea. It keeps getting longer and longer. At the end of the day though, I'm happiest with a coffee in my hands, my cats next to me and a good playlist playing in the background.

Fun fact

Almost 10 years ago, my best friend and I flew to London for a weekend which was my first flight ever. We didn't go there for sightseeing, but for meeting the cast of The Walking Dead.

The most chaotic duo

Two ragdolls with very strong opinions and absolutely zero respect for my personal space.
At this point, I'm basically their staff.

Meet my two cats, Loki and Nabi

They're half siblings but literally nothing alike. Loki is a seal mitted ragdoll. His life revolves around two things only, which are food and napping all day long. Nabi is a blue bicolor ragdoll and completely different from Loki. She has the zoomies 24/7 and loves to be in the center of attention. I already accepted I'm just living in their world.

A week in the Maldives

Various underwater creatures, one overwater bungalow and more shades of blue than I believed existed.
A small travel diary from August 2025.

Malé Atoll,

aka paradise.

It took us almost a whole day to get to the Maldives – safe to say it was worth every second. I expected crystal clear water and beautiful views, but photos really don't do it justice. The colors, the stillness and the feeling of being surrounded by the ocean in every direction were overwhelming in the best way possible.

Something I still think about is our overwater bungalow that had direct access to the ocean. Waking up to that every morning genuinely felt unreal. But for me, the most memorable moment of the whole trip was the snorkeling. I got to swim with sharks (not just once), stingrays, turtles and so many unique fish I had never seen before. This experience was so special to me that I already know I'll be going back.

Through my lens

I've been behind the camera since 2021 and have always been drawn to aesthetics, which made my interest in photography evolve into a real passion. Each project has its own approach, making every shoot unique and special in its own way.

Have a little sneak peek of my work!
