About me

I'm a developer based in northern Germany with 20+ years of experience in software development.

What started as a hobby in my childhood turned into a passion for the rest of my life. Coding is still my hobby – but now it's also my job.

Professionally, I started out developing desktop applications. After nearly ten years I turned to web development, which I've stayed loyal to ever since. I mostly work with PHP, but I'm at home with plenty of other web technologies, too. These days I also build apps for Apple platforms – you'll find them below.

Every October I try to be a successful participant in the awesome Hacktoberfest by DigitalOcean and GitHub.

But there's other stuff, too – like work and the need to earn money. Having a strong family and lovely friends at my back is key to every success. Thanks for supporting me on this journey so far.
