I like to build things. One time it's an app. Another time, it's a concept or something physical. But always together with other people. My curiousity often leads me to surprising places and topics. But I see these surprises as a chance to learn as a professional and as a person. I'm currently a Master’s student in IT Systems Engineering at Hasso Plattner Institute near Berlin.
