What a wonderfull time

it's amazing

When I went to school, digitalization was on everyone's lips. Transistor radios. Calculators. Casio watches. The C-64.

When I was about to complete my computer science pre-diploma, the WWW was invented. I had fallen in love with computers a few years earlier because they could control MIDI synthesizers and effects devices, and because computers made it possible to connect with the world via acoustic couplers and modems.

Now - 30 years later - we stand at the beginning of an era that could change the world more profoundly than anything I've been privileged to experience in technological innovation before.

I'm now studying Computer Engineering to better understand what drives the digital world at its core.

After graduating from high school , I studied political science for a few semesters. My interest in what drives societies at their core remains strong. At the moment, it seems to me that Western societies haven't yet realized what's coming their way. The Industrial Revolution is probably too far in the past.

I'm curious and excited. I'm looking forward to what's coming. It will be unprecedented.

About me

what some of my teammates say

The cooperation with you was always great. Thank you very much for that.
I always found the cooperation with you very constructive and successful.
I always thought, it was cool to work with you. Even if we didn't always agree, we always had super constructive discussions and came to a great result.
We have "lived through" many topics together over the years. It was not always easy, but I have always appreciated it very much, that one could "discuss hotly" with you and afterwards also work calmly together again!
I would like to thank you very much for all the work we have done and especially for all that you have taught me.
I thank you for your collaboration. You contributed to me documenting business logic, at one point or another. That also helped me sort out my thoughts and I still watch the docs today. Thank you so much. I have learned from you.
