A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Hej 👋, I amTobias.a software dev.a project manager.a proud father.

I live in a small town in southern Germany.

I’m passionate about coding and open source.

I work full time at Goldflam GmbH as a Senior Software Developer doing Java and Docker stuff.

Previously I’ve been Head of Software Development at pagina GmbH where my team created XML based publishing workflows (like parsX) and pushed CSS Paged Media (“PrintCSS”).

I’m still a confessing XML nerd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like tasty food, travelling and rock climbing.
