About
I am a full stack engineer with a passion for quality software products. Developing and using lots of software for over 15 years has taught me that there is so much left to do.
Working at an industry leading agile company like sipgate made me realize that established work models need to change and the time has come for a more inclusive and learning oriented culture.
In 2020 I co-founded the company Einsen und Nullen to provide software development for various clients and develop own products. Doing that allowed me to put all my skills to use, and required me to learn new things.
Besides playing guitar, mountain biking and gaming I enjoy trying new things all the time. It opens up new perspectives and allows me to combine that knowledge with software.
