I am a software developer at Accenture, hold a Master's Degree in Mobile and Distributed Computing, Bachelor's Degree in Business IT, completed a retail management apprenticeship at GameStop, and recently started my own business whose first product is currently under development.

I am trying to start writing regularly on this blog. You can find me on X and LinkedIn.

GameStop

I was bad at school and didn't like going. I spent most of the time playing video games like World of Warcraft and League of Legends. That is why I ended up on the lowest tier (Hauptschule) of the three-tier secondary school system in Germany. Furthermore, I was shy and overweight. In the last months of school I started to get my life together losing 34kg (~75 pounds) but I was still super shy. To fix this I decided to start an apprenticeship in sales and got the perfect position for me at GameStop. This was such a good time, I learned a lot and completely transformed myself. These days I sometimes tend to talk too much.

Business IT

Why Business IT? I've tried coding in the past when I was like 12 years old and got a book about Visual Basic, but the book was so boring and the content so difficult (or I was too stupid) that I gave up on it. In 9th grade, I picked up coding again with scripting languages like AutoIT, which was a popular language to write bots in Guild Wars, a game which I played back then. This time I gave up on it again because writing a bot from scratch was too complicated for me, and I couldn't really come up with something creative which captured my attention, so instead I just kept playing video games. I didn't go for pure computer science because I thought the economy stuff I learned during my retail management assistant apprenticeship would help me (it did not help me at all) with my degree.

Masters Degree in Mobile and Distributed Computing

I really wanted to get a master's degree but I was already working and the money was good. I could not afford to stop working to study full time again, so I pursued my master's degree beside my full time job and finished it in 2 years.
