Where do you live? Do you work remotely?

Are there any projects that you don't do?
Yes - what I do is my passion and not just a job. That's why I'm picky when it comes to projects. I want to “make a dent in the universe” with digital products, as Steve Jobs once said. I love challenges and successes. That's why I sometimes turn down projects if the topic doesn't excite me personally. - My customers benefit from the fact that I am really passionate about their topic when I take on their project.
