I develop apps since 2013 when I started my Android career as working student at ]init[ in Berlin, Germany. After my studies in 2014, I joined forces with Conrad Electronic – a big electronic retailer – to help to build up the Conrad Competence Center Berlin – a startup within the big concern – as Lead Android Developer. 2016, after developing and maintaining one big Android app for nearly two years, I had the great opportunity to find an employer which would give me the opportunity to start new projects more often: adorsys in Nuremberg, Germany, a software service provider with a strong focus on open source and security. Being able to start several new projects, I also got more into architectural topics.
