After graduating from high school at a school for multimedia and arts with a German Abitur, I lived in Canada for three years and worked there as a web developer. Due to my stay abroad, my English skills have become fluent. I have been working as a web developer in Germany since 2013. In mid-2017 I finished my apprenticeship as an IT specialist for application development (Fachinformatiker Richtung Anwendungsentwicklung) at the it.schule Stuttgart.

I have largely acquired my knowledge of web and app development on a self-taught basis. I regularly continue my education to be up to date with the latest web development and am currently also enrolled in an online college to become a game developer in order to expand my skills and venture into more tech fields.

I have worked for a number of web agencies in the past, but I am now looking for a tech company where I can completely focus on a primary product and help to expand it and develop interesting features.

I have been helping my parents renovating and selling our former family home for the past 2.5 years and moved to Gudensberg, near Kassel, before the nationwide quarantine started. I am currently looking for a new location throughout Germany, preferably in bigger cities.


I'm a great asset to anyone's team.

I learn new things quickly.

I make friends in the workplace easily.

I share memes and various development-related links on Slack (or whatever the company-intern messaging tool is).

I organize after-work outings (bowling, beer, sushi, fare, etc.).

I can grill burgers.

I have a beard.

I have a Switch for lunch breaks.

I can help out coworkers - often times as their rubber duck replacement.

I have a good taste in music.

I also have a shameful taste in music.

I'm a 1x engineer: https://1x.engineer/

I take my projects serious and I will work to the best of my abilities.

I make mistakes. But we're all human. It's ok.

I will remember the mistakes I've done and avoid them in the future.

I'm not allergic to animals.

I don't do soccer (I tend to break things when I do sports - usually my own bones).

I cannot work with Windows.

I'm looking for a job as a Front-End Webdeveloper in the aforementioned cities. I've been working as a webdeveloper since 2010, both in Canada and Germany. I'm a certified "Fachinformatiker Richtung Anwendungsentwicklung" (IT expert in application development) and I made my German Abitur at a school for Arts and Multimedia, which helped me understand the design-heavy front-end webdevelopment.

I'm currently living in Bremen, Germany, because I've been helping my parents renovate and now sell their old house for the past 2 years. We found a buyer and will be moving out by Mid-March 2020. I will help my parents move closer to my sister and then move away myself shortly after.

I'm looking for employment starting in June or July 2020.

I also have a shameful taste in music.

I'm very open about my mood. If the company is sucking the life out of me it can be seen very easily.

I'm very honest. I won't lie for you to clients.

I use Feedly with Reeder for Mac as the RSS client.


I made a ticket [1] about exactly that with a mockup (which I seem to have deleted from my droplr over that time; though it looked very similar to how iMessages looks now) 2 years ago and the response to the idea was a "no". You should make a ticket yourselves and see if they've changed their minds yet.

I'd love to see a single window UI in Adium but just making the mockup and saying how good of an idea it is doesn't seem to be convincing enough for someone to actually tackle the project.

I wrote a text with "German constitution" and now it's stuck in a loop fetching the information to "Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany".

Yes they do. Every child that learns anything will tell the world about it - or at the very least everyone in their family.


Does that actually work for you? I've been setting it to English and restarting the app about 5 times now and it still launches in Dutch.


Use the keyboard. Mouse fails for me as well (Mac).

Eye -> Instellingen -> Taal -> Click on dropdown to open it. Scroll UP to English (silly Dutchies) -> Press Enter

You may also want to adjust the Scriptdefinitie field to en in a similar fashion. I left it on nl for the samples, will update it later once I've checked them out (and not a problem since I'm Dutch anyhow).

I think this tool fails a little because of the language dependency. Move the Turtle is more language independent, and Cargo Bot (links above) needs no language at all. Actually, I LOVE cargo bot myself, very challenging.
