Summary

My journey started as a freelancer and then landed me in the tough but good school of newspaper media. The next stage took me into the world of retail, where I enjoyed the wide variety of products. And before I knew it, I found myself deep in the world of digital development - from app development and software to complex websites.

The journey went on: I went deeper into web development, worked on projects in the automotive industry, developed solutions for care and medicine, produced videos for construction and real estate, brought skilled trades online, and finally dove into the fascinating world of AI and modern software development.

At some point, you reach the limits of your own progress. That is why I need new challenges to bring more of my skills to life.
