I am passionate about agile web & software development, open source, architecture and technology in general. I feel motivated when shipping features, creating value, and developing - not only software, but also entire systems and teams. And I love to share my knowledge & experience - whether internally, at a meetup, or at a conference.
Currently, I have a strong focus on building open source projects like Symfony AI and the official MCP SDK for PHP.
After growing up as the youngest of four, I was able to convert my hobby into my profession. Following early experiences with HTML, CSS and PHP, I studied Media Informatics at the University of Applied Sciences in Flensburg. Working for startups, as a freelancer, for agencies, ecommerce and product companies in Berlin enabled me to gain a lot of experience in different industries and team setups.
I got heavily involved with the Symfony and open source community, where I was able to learn, grow and make friends. You can find some of my talks on YouTube, my contributions on GitHub and some featured projects down below.
