I work as designer & developer of apps and games, on many different tech stacks: desktop, web, mobile, 3D and XR.

I was first hired as a paid programmer at age 14 and had my first computer game sold in stores at age 16. I've been running my own companies ever since. My latest project is a 3D agency called Vu3D – we offer a no-code toolbox to create 3D visualisations and the turnkey services that go along with it.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Informatics. My game studio released more than a dozen mid-budget games in Europe and the US beating out AAA titles in first year sales numbers in Germany.

In 2017 I was named a Innovators Under 35 by MIT Technology Review (Germany) for my work in Augmented Reality.

My startup Vuframe won the German Digital Award and German Design Award for a 3D and Augmented Reality App we built together with SIEMENS. Our products won the German Brand Award – among a few other awards.

Starting in 2024 I am working on a few new projects in the 3D and XR space – most prominently I am running an agency for 3D/XR solutions for SMEs called Vu3D Software.


Tech Stack

Except for assembler I've done pretty much everything: C/Objective-C, C#, ruby, Javascript & CSS, VueJS (which I prefer to React). I'm most at home in Unity 3D – which I've been using since Version 2 (i.e. 2008) – and in Ruby on Rails.

As a former game developer I'm a huge proponent of native apps over that whole Javascript mess. It's not a real app if it has no memory management. Yeah, I'm old fashioned.

I'm on Mac with ZSH. I don't use VS Code – a good IDE is the most important tool a coder can have: consequently, I'm a long-time Jetbrains customer. Yeah, old fashioned again.


Design Work

I don't like Figma. I chose Sketch back when there still was a battle between Figma and Sketch.

From there it's FontAwesome and Envato Elements.
