Fullstack Webdeveloper
Software Engineer

Even as a pupil I played around with programming languages and created small websites for acquaintances. I knew early on that I wanted to study computer science.

Since then I have been constantly expanding my knowledge and am always looking for new challenges. Most problems can be solved with many tools / programming languages ​​/ systems. But I like to use the shortest route using cleverly chosen technologies.

Today I’m a full-stack developer with a few small projects of my own, the occasional website for small business owners I know, a passion for travel and other cultures, and a ardent golfer for the past two years.
