My "first steps" as a developer were when I asked my brother to teach me programming on his C64. He handed me a book from which I was supposed to copy a few code snippets.

My assumption - to create the first artificial intelligence - turned out to be a bouncing ball on the monitor. The disappointment was at least as great as the awakened interest in programming.

So I followed my brother's path as a student into the computer science lecture halls. After learning various programming languages and countless lines of code, I successfully completed my Master of Science degree.

After educational stints as a software developer in a consulting firm, a ticketing software company, and a transport company, I finally mustered the courage and decided to live as a freelancer.

I have focused on backend implementation in Java with Spring Boot.

Privately, I am a husband, proud father of a son and a daughter, dog owner, hobby photographer, and Wing Tzun trainer for a selected group of children, and I live in Pinneberg. Honestly, the people of Pinneberg drive better than their reputation suggests, regardless, we kept our Hamburg license plates ;)
