LET'S CONNECT!

MY JOURNEY STARTED AT THE ART ACADEMY IN MÜNSTER, WHERE I STUDIED PAINTING UNDER MICHAEL VAN OFEN. BUT AT THE SAME TIME MY MUSIC CAREER STARTED TAKING OFF AND I DECIDED TO FOCUS ON THIS NEW PROFESSION, WHICH HAS ALLOWED ME TO TRAVEL TO 3 CONTINENTS AND PLAY COUNTLESS GIGS IN OVER 10 COUNTRIES. OVER THE SPAN OF MY TIME AS A MUSIC PRODUCER I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE 7 VINYL RECORDINGS AND GAIN OVER A MILLION LISTENERS. MY JOURNEY TOOK AN INTERESTING TURN AS I SHIFTED FROM THE DYNAMIC WORLD OF MUSIC PRODUCTION TO THE ROLE OF A BAR MANAGER IN A MICHELIN-STAR RESTAURANT , WHERE I'VE HONED MY TALENTS IN MANAGEMENT, TEAM LEADERSHIP, AND THRIVING UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE, ALL WHILE DELIVERING TOP-NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE.

MY PASSION FOR TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATIONS LED ME TO WEB DEVELOPMENT. IT'S SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN AND EXPLORE. IT JUST FEELS LIKE THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP IN MY CAREER JOURNEY, SEAMLESSLY BUILDING UPON THE SKILLS ACQUIRED IN MY PREVIOUS PROFESSIONS. DRAWING PARALLELS BETWEEN MUSIC PRODUCTION IN A DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION (DAW) AND CODING IN A IDE (INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT), I FIND THE CREATIVE PROCESS TO BE REMARKABLY SIMILIAR. FROM PROJECT MANAGMENT TO PROBLEM SOLVING IN CODING YOU USE FRAMEWORKS AND LIBRARIES WHERES IN A DAW YOU USE PLUGINS AND VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS. JUST AS I'VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS CRAFTING BEATS AND MELODIES ON A LAPTOP, I'M READY TO CHANNEL THAT FOCUS INTO CODING. PLUS, LET'S BE HONEST, I'M QUITE ACCUSTOMED TO THE WHOLE "SITTING ON A LAPTOP ALL DAY" LIFESTYLE! ASIDE FROM THAT THE RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN AI HAVE CAPTIVATED ME, AND I'M EAGERLY ANTICIPATING HOW IT WILL CONTINUE TO SHAPE OUR LIVES. I CAN'T WAIT TO EXPLORE MACHINE LEARNING AND BE A PART OF THIS TRANSFORMATIVE ERA, FEELING FORTUNATE THAT THESE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS ARE UNFOLDING IN PRESENT TIMES.

IN THE MIDST OF LIFE'S BUSYNESS, I FIND SOLACE IN MY HOBBIES. THEY'RE MY GO-TO FOR UNWINDING, EXPLORING, AND PERSONAL GROWTH. PLUS, MY CANINE SIDEKICK NOSH, IS ALWAYS THERE, ADDING HEAPS OF LOVE AND JOY TO MY FREE TIME. MY HOBBIES INCLUDE Hiking, FITNESS, MARTIAL ARTS, AI ART, CHESS, ART EXHIBITIONS, THEATRE AND MANY MORE...
