Passion Projects

since Nov 2022

From the Toastmasters Website:

Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that builds confidence and teaches public speaking skills through a worldwide network of clubs that meet online and in person.

I joined Redeclub München End of 2022, and found something that really fits my ambitions, talents and personality. It's a great way to learn to speak in front of an audience, use rhetoric skills, body language and your voice as a tool of power. And it's incredibly fun!

2008-2017

Starting in the year of the first iPhone (2008), I was thrilled to be part of the growing development possibilities of Apple devices, and immediately joined the newly formed user group. Berlin had an incredible tech vibe, fantastic experts and an ever-changing working landscape. Taking more and more responsibilities, organization of the meetings (finding a host and speakers), logo design and forming a team, CocoaHeads grew from a dozen of developers to 100 people attending the meetings.

I spend a large part of my free time for voluntary activities in my local church community. I sing base in a choir, did some theological studies, organize and help with various groups and am also a board member of several regional structures of the diocese.
