Designing and building digital products from concept to production

Birthday: 17. Mai 1998

Degree: B.A. Digital Games

Freelance: Available

I am a freelance app, software and web developer based in Cologne. I design and build digital products ranging from mobile and web applications to games, interactive experiences and the backend systems behind them.

My background in Digital Games combines programming with game, interaction and product design. That is especially useful for products that need more than functional software: intuitive onboarding, engaging interactions, progression, recurring use or playful learning. Alongside client work, I develop and operate my own products including Scorly and Revisium and build production systems for projects such as the Deutscher Entwicklerpreis and the Triple-i Initiative.
