Growing up in the Leipzig area, I was already enthusiastic about the possibilities offered by software development and digitization in my youth. I earned my diploma in computer science at the Leipzig University of Cooperative Education in 2011. For more than 10 years, I have been managing digital projects as a developer, software architect, trainer and Scrum master. Through friends, I learned about the Coding da Vinci cultural hackathon in 2018, in the context of which I was expanding and trying out my skills in a creative and diverse environment. Together with Anne, I am constantly building on the experience and approaches I have gained and making them usable for future projects - that's what Digitalwarenkombinat is for. I regularly present our projects at international conferences and meetings. Additonally I work at the moment as an application developer in a library in Leipzig.
