Freelancing

I have been a freelancer from 2006 to 2011 and have been working for companies like for example Harley Davidson, RWE, Systaic, and ThyssenKrupp. In about 4,5 years I successfully finished more than 15 big and small multimedia and game projects with Unity for customers around the world.

 

Robotics

In 2011 I started a personal robotics research and development project. I evaluated hardware and software to build and simulate my own robot. I decided to use Unity's powerful physics engine to create a robotics simulator to simulate and read / write to real hardware. I wanted to use this simulator to build a digital twin of a spider robot that can climb stairs and retrieve objects.

 

Employee at KritzelKratz 3000 GmbH

In 2012 and 2013 I have been working in Würzburg / Germany on several Unity projects for Audi AG in Ingolstadt / Germany.

 

Employee at Verlagsgruppe Friedrich Oetinger GmbH

Employee at Inscale Interactive by Lebeman GmbH

In 2016 and 2017 I have been working in Mainz / Germany on several Augmented and Virtual Reality projects for mobile devices made with Unity. 

 

Employee at ZDF Digital Medienproduktion GmbH

In 2018 I have been working in Mainz / Germany with Unity as a Virtual Reality developer.

 

Employee at Saatmann GmbH & Co. KG

In 2018 and 2019 I have been working in Worms / Germany as an application developer for front- and backends with Visual Studio in C#.
While I have been working part-time for the company Saatmann I have been using Unity ( and Unreal ) in my free time.

 

Employee at Novatec Consulting GmbH

In 2019 I have been working remotely as a Senior Consultant for C#, Unity, Machine Learning Agents, and Augmented & Mixed Reality to develop multimedia and games for Microsoft Hololens.

 

What now ?

I am working on an action game in my free time.
After successfully finishing a prototype of a top-down space game in 2019 with Unity, I decided to create a complete game of this idea with Unreal Engine.
