I'm crazy about surfing, self-improvement, healthy food, coding, Freeletics (a type of HIIT/ sports) and innovations. Starting from Hamburg, Germany, I first made an apprenticeship at the public broadcast. This was followed by five years as a producer and project manager at Goodgame Studios and my first undergraduate studies in economic computer science through long evenings and weekends, parallelly to my fulltime job. After successfully getting my degree, Danny and I decided to move away from Hamburg, to start over again. There I began my second undergraduate studies in mechatronics at the KIT, which I canceled after the 5th semester. Meanwhile, I developed some skills as a computer vision- and android-developer. So that's what I'm doing in my free time now, while I am working as a technical product manager and Product Owner at 1&1.
