I was 13 years old when I started to write my first website with html, css and javascript (~2007). It was the time, where responsive web design become very popular. I remember that it was called "fluid design".
After that I programmed some websites for my friends and some small companies to get money for it. Then I started around 2010 with PHP to have a backend for all these websites I built. Mostly it was just Wordpress with some template adaptations, but then I discovered Symfony. So I learned a lot about MVC architecture and from that point I got hungry for software-architecture.

Then, 2013 I joined a software company where we programmed in Python. We built a lot of business intelligence stuff with a lot of data science (as it was not related to AI anyhow) stuff. As I started to study computer science in 2013 as well, I could combine my university knowledge with requirements in my job.
I learned so much in this time.
Programming, Computer-Science, Databases, Mathematics, Computer Vision, Concepts, Design Patterns, Software-Architecture, and uncountable more... it's astonishing when I look back.

2018 I changed companies and stayed there for 9 months. Now I am at a really satisfactory company where we implement Go services.
