I'm a software developer by day and by night. Sometimes you won't find me coding, then I'm just playing drums or climbing some walls.

Member of Hackwerk Aalen, Chaostreff Backnang and Code for Heilbronn.

I enjoy learning from others and teaching others. My freetime projects only have one goal: Learning new stuff while having fun :)
