I studied Business Informatics at the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz, Germany. While at my bachelor thesis about social bookmarking I encountered the newest web technologies and several JavaScript frameworks. After five years of programming experience in Java, I decided to expand my knowledge about web technologies, especially JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3. That is why I joined the qooxdoo team. It combines my knowledge about object-oriented programming languages with my curiosity for web technologies, perfectly.
