About & Portfolio

Welcome to the personal website of Dr. Felix Sébastien Bourier, which also serves as the legacy repository for the renowned ChaosScript framework. Established in 2003, this project was co-founded by dSk|Goti (Felix) and dSk|Sien (Anonymous). The core of this project represents over two decades of dedication to enhancing the Counter-Strike experience for the community - fuelled by the huge initial impact of the ChaosScript for Counter-Strike: Source.

Our mission is to provide transparent, legal, and optimized scripts for server administration. We believe in "Diversity in Code" - approaching problems from multiple angles to find the most robust solution. Following dSk|Sien's retirement from the project, the repository is now exclusively maintained by Felix. Both are still in good contact, but the priorities shifted to different projects.

This website has recently (December 2025) been upgraded to provide an overview of Felix's bio, skills, and project highlights - A major transition from the early days to the current professional reality.

Goti / Felix - Lead Engineer & Webmaster

Long before Felix entered the lab, he was a pillar of the European scripting community. Under the handle "Goti," he co-founded the ChaosScript project, which achieved over 200,000 downloads. This early deep-dive into scripting and his experiences with the co-founded the multigaming clan "Digitale Spielekultur" taught him how to scale software for a massive user base and to manage distributed systems - skills that now define his approach to professional data engineering and data science.

Today, Felix applies that same "hacker" mindset to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. During his time as a PhD student and especially at Carl ZEISS SMT GmbH, he's transitioned from community scripting to architecting production-grade Python and MATLAB environments. By introducing CI/CD pipelines, unit testing, and automated ETL workflows, he increased the data throughput and accuracy, ensuring that the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing is driven by robust software.

Whether he's teaching 7-year-olds at Mini-München’s Science City or representing ZEISS as a Brand Ambassador at major research clusters like CUI and DESY, his mission remains the same: translating complex systems into actionable insights.

2018 - 2018	Freelancer	Online, GER	Worked as a freelancer on the now-defunct distributed systems project Lamden. Involved in improving the built in atomic swap engine "Clove".
2017	Developer	Hamburg, GER	Trained and optimized a CUDA-enhanced Char-RNN based on the the work of Andrew Karpathy, focusing on maximizing computational throughput. To eliminate data-loading bottlenecks, a custom serialization format for MIDI compression and decompression was developed. This highly efficient preparation of the data served as the foundation for training the network on large-scale musical datasets, enabling the autonomous generation of complex, custom-made MIDI compositions.
2016	Master Student	Hamburg, GER	An implementation of the Keating valence force field for wurtzite crystals in Python 3. This implementation was used for the geometry optimization of atomistically modelled nanostructures. The optimized models were then used for reduced mass band-gap calculations and the results compared to experimental spectroscopic data.
2016	Master Student	Hamburg, GER	Built a tool in Python 3 that takes crystallographic data from experiments and shapes different atomistic models of nanostructures from it. Obtainable shapes were: Nano-Dots, -Rods, -Cubes and -Stars. The surfaces of the created structures are finally saturated with varying surface atoms, based on the system to be studied.
