AboutMe

My Career

Beginning

Since I was young I have enjoyed doing creative things with the computer. In the year 2002 I was part of a creative group for the first time in the elective multimedia course of the commercial college Schwabach. This group made Projects for the “Join Multimedia” competition from Siemens and the competition “pupils research the history and culture” from the provincial government. In this period I gained my first knowledge of professional image editing (Corel Paint Shop Pro) and Macromedia Flash.

College

Over the period of time at the college in Weißenburg I did a lot of small creative tasks with the computer. The first contact I had to the 3D world was with the level editor of Quake 3 and some OpenSource programs.

Study

Now I have studied Multimedia and Communications at the Ansbach University of Applied Sciences with an emphasis on media informatics and 3D for four years. At the beginning of my studies I had an increasing interest in web development. Accordingly I learned all the established web technologies and increased my knowledge in content management systems through a practical training at the One Advertising AG in Munich. After the training I stayed in touch with the One Advertising AG for one year as a working student. After this I developed websites in cooperation with Bonitographics and on a freelance basis regularly.

Further Development

I became immersed in 3D real-time environments about a year ago. In the past year I developed the technical basics of a 3D Fantasy Action Adventure named “Timekeepers”. The development of this game is still in progress. At the moment I am studying and developing a real-time crowd simulation for video games for my bachelor thesis, which is intended to be part of the “Timekeepers” game. More information about my bachelor thesis can be found in the news section.
