My Professional Journey
I'm the classic example of a dropout with extensive professional experience. For over 20 years, I've been working in web development, both in frontend and backend. Instead of focusing on theoretical studies, I chose the practical route and taught myself everything. Although I never completed a university degree, many students have completed their internships with me.
During my time at VUCX GmbH, I completed my apprenticeship as an IT specialist in the field of application development. I realized IT projects for well-known companies such as Procter & Gamble, Wella, Hugo Boss, Mühlen Kölsch, and others.
Obtained my Fachhochschulreife (equivalent to a university of applied sciences entrance qualification) at a technical college specializing in design, with a strong focus on videography, photography, and design. This education perfected my cross-media skills and elevated my sense of visual communication to a new level.
Began studying Media Technology (dropped out).
At eWorks GmbH, I worked on various projects, including the development of a new online shop for Expert Technomarkt and contributing to an online portal for Deutsche Post AG.
As a project manager and team leader, I coordinated challenging projects for Deutsche Telekom. In this role, I was responsible for aligning teams and successfully implementing the projects.
Since 2011, I have been working as a freelancer, realizing numerous customer projects in web development. During this time, I have not only implemented tailor-made projects but also founded companies – including Bitter Digital Solutions GmbH and Gutachter Engel GbR – as well as other companies abroad. In addition to practical implementation, I also work as a lecturer and author of professional books, sharing my knowledge and continuously introducing new ideas to the industry.
