I got interested in software development when I was around 15 years old. What began hacking
together simple scripts quickly became passion. Fueled by the curiosity to learn about new
technologies I started to dig deeper into a lot of the subdomains of software development.
The first useful programs I developed just automated daily chores like converting one file
format into another or pulling data from some API. These script were no big achievement of
software craftsmanship, but they lit the spark of this passion.
It did not take long for me to learn about the basics of object oriented programming and its
benefits
regarding code reusability. My learning pace increased steadily and the more I learned, the more
I wanted to know. From today's perspective, learning about test driven development (TDD) and
design patterns were two of my most valuable insights early on.
Nowadays my focus is to help my clients in developing top notch digital products by supporting
with my in depth technical knowledge and experience. I'm thrilled to join new projects, to dive
into new domains and to encounter new challenges.
