We got our first computer when I was 11. At age 14, I was already fixing other peoples computers, built my own home network and learned about linux and security. So I made my passion for computers my job. I am not a career manager, but an engineer who also became a manager.
In my spare time, I am husband to a wonderful wife, love bouldering, longboarding, hiking, freediving, traveling and doing some IT side projects. ;)
I am a native German speaker, and fluent in English. My french is terrible.
