about_me_picture

Hello 👋

I am a web developer who was born and raised near Cologne. Since I was a child, I have been passionate about technology and computer science. Ever since I came into contact with coding, I have been very enthusiastic. I like to try out new things, libraries and frameworks to make great software!

Apart from programming, I am an enthusiastic gamer. From almost all Square Enix games, like Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy, which accompanied my youth, to Baldurs Gate and fantastic titles from Nintendo, such as Zelda or Super Smash Bros. When I am not at the computer, I spend a lot of time on the football field as an assistant coach for a local club or cheer for my favorite team, 1. FC Köln.

Fun fact: I have three cats who love to keep me company while I code.
