About me

My Parents weren’t born in Germany, although our family history dates back to my Ancestors, who all lived in Prussia.
But this isn’t about them, this is about me.
Although I was born and raised in Germany. I was unable to speak German for the first 4 years of my life.
My parents both worked, so I almost exclusively stayed with my grandmothers. Both of whom could only speak Russian back then.
And yes, also I was only able to speak Russian.
After I turned 4 years old I was allowed to go into kindergarden, where I started learning German.
To this day, I am still able to speak both languages.

As a Child I was always interested in Legos. They are such a fascinating toy. You can build literally anything with them. Before you ask, yes, I still have Legos to this day.

My First Computer was a Windows XP. It was very old, but I was able to play my first Video Games with it.
I know… Very Default… How almost any young Software Developer started, and yes I’m no different.
I always loved RTS or 4X strategy games like Red Alert or Civilizations, this might be, where I sharpened my strategic thinking.

My first touch with Software Development was in school.
Here I had an IT Class where we learned Visual Basic.
I got so interested into this topic, that I stayed up many nights learning and playing around with it.

I developed my first calculator using Visual Basic. While it was a basic application, capable of performing simple arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, it marked my initial foray into building functional software.

After working as a Paperboy I had saved up enough money to buy myself all the parts I needed to build a very cheap PC.

Using the Unity3D game engine, I embarked on developing my first game. Although the project remained incomplete, I managed to implement basic mechanics, such as NPCs pursuing the player and enabling the player to inflict damage. However, the NPCs lacked features like a damage system, animations, or other advanced functionalities.

After having bought all required parts, I needed to assemble it, which I did successfully, however, not knowing anything I made some mistakes.
I also hadn’t bought a copy of a Windows License yet, and at that time I didn’t even know what Linux was. So I decided to make my way down from my Grandmothers house over to a nearby PC Shop, the “Baerler PC Laden”.

I worked here as a PC specialist. Repairing old PCs, Building New Ones, earning some pocket money. Each Saturday I was here working for almost 2 years.

Now, if anyone is actually reading this, you might be thinking “What does this have to do with IT?”, but you need to know, this is a very important step for me in my life.

I may have started out as a Trainer, but I quickly 

Using the LAMP stack I built my first website completely using php and no framework.
I had to learn HTML, CSS, MySQL, PHP, Linux CLI, Networking, Firewalls and so much more.
This website was built for a client.

I was starting to get a couple of clients that wanted me to build a website for them, so I decided to build a company, so I can use some tax advantages.
Medi-Fin (2020) (No longer running)
Morpheus Stromvergleich (2021) (Firma Pleite)

I started to really get into Self-Hosting.
Docker, Kubernetes, Portainer, …

I bought a large 2U Server Rack, which I played around with a lot.

My Greatest Failure. I was supposed to build a new Web Application for a Client I had, but this project was doomed from the start.

I was hired as a Freelancer to be a Frontend Web Developer.
But very quickly I switched over to a QA position.
I wrote E2E (End-to-End) tests to assure the quality of the mobile application.
The mobile application was built using react native and the tests were done using mocha at first, but we switched over to jest a bit later. Now we use Jest with Detox.

I had a Swiss Client who had a 100 Gb/s Internet connection.
I helped him set up PfSense on his own Router.
When I say helped, I really mean I only advised.
It was completely via the Internet.
But I like to believe that he would have taken a lot longer without me.

A german client wanted me to build a frontend web application using next.js. He had already worked with many developers from pakistan and india and was incredibly unhappy with their work. So he had basically already given up trying to find someone, but then he found me and together we built the Timelit Application.
It was finally released in January 2025

This is a client from Germany that initially wanted me to finish development on a truly custom wordpress instance.
WordPress itself is based on php, but this was something very different.
We ended up doing multiple projects together.

For the Jomox Media GmbH I developed the Zoo Karlsruhe Website on the truly bizzar WordPress Framework t something.
We finished it in September 2024.

This Client from Austria wanted me to continue a left behind project.

For the German Client “Jomox Media GmbH” I did some custom WordPress Plugin Development. I developed an AddOn for “The Events Plugin”

Yes, after some time I did a rerelease of the Website.
I built it on the Avada Theme for WordPress
