About me

I am a Mobile Developer, Unity Developer and 3D generalist. During my academic and research career I have delved into the cognitive basis of the relationship between humans and digital systems, but I have also developed my computer science skills to design, create and evaluate different interfaces, especially with regard to User Experience and user-centered design. But I am also always available for board games, LEGO building, cinema, and hiking.
