Developer
Lovin' all them stacks
I built my first website when I was around 13. Since then I've been constantly dabbling with code. In 2019, I got my Bachelor's degree in Technical Computer Science (Technische Informatik) at HAW Hamburg and I've been working as a software developer since then (last companies I worked for: Mesaic, Ubilabs, Elbstack). Together with a friend, I started my own software company bitbetter in 2022. We do a lot of software development, mostly with technologies like React, Laravel, Inertia, Redux, Next.js, Astro, Express and others.

Writing and talking about technology
Before I became a software developer, I worked as a tech writer for many years. What started as a nerdy hobby when I was a teenager turned into a proper career: I've written well over 1500 pieces on technology topics (for outlets like t3n, Golem.de, Spiegel Online or fluter) and got a proper job training as an editor (Volontariat). I've visited trade shows and press conferences all over the world and spent a year living and working in Silicon Valley as a correspondent for t3n Magazin. Sometimes I still write as a freelancer for various publications. In 2022 I also started teaching fullstack web development at Hamburg Coding School.

Building stuff and helping others build
I like building – both nerdy, internet-of-things stuff but also non-technical and simple things from wood and metal, like furniture. Since this is more fun if you don't do it alone, I helped build and served as president of Welcome Werkstatt e. V. – a club for likeminded people, who together maintain an open workshop and makerspace in Hamburg Barmbek. I also try to combine this with my day job and create, maintain and consult on software and infrastructure topics like Nextcloud, Matrix/Synapse, GitLab and Kirby CMS for our own makerspace and affiliated partners like Fab City Hamburg e.
