WHAT I'M DOING

At the moment i'm working as Lead Web Developer and Technical Project Manager for Maschinenringe Deutschland GmbH, based in Neuburg/Donau, Germany.

I'm passionated about all aspects of Web Development - this is my profession, this is my hobby. I love exploring the latest frameworks and technologies, always striving to bring cutting-edge web applications into production. I work in agile environments and am familiar with all different aspects and roles, especially within Scrum teams. At Maschinenringe Deutschland GmbH, i had the awesome opportunity to design and implement a completely new web architecture and CMS platform, tailored precisely to the company's needs. This platform is now the rock solid base for all our websites and browser-based web applications.

WHAT I'VE DONE

Before my current position i worked as Head of Web Development for Webdia Gaming GmbH and IDG Communications Media, both based in Munich, Germany. I loved to take care for some of the biggest gaming websites in Germany (maybe you know www.gamestar.de or www.gamepro.de) as well to be responsible for big the online versions of magazines like PC-WELT, MACWELT, Computerwoche etc. I'm responsible for all technical decisions and architecture in general. I deal with new ideas, plan and implement features and showcases. I lead a small and creative web development team of awesome guys. In particular I love improving performance, refactoring code and dealing with the current challenges of responsive mobile solutions every big website's struggling with nowadays. Most of all I'm curious about new techniques. I've been around Webedia and IDG for over 12 years.
