Vocational training:
Master of Science Informatics

Favorite Music: 
Mainly rock, indie and alternative, but also electronic and sometimes even hip hop.

Favorite Game(s): 
The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past, Gothic and Final Fantasy VII – all timeless classics. ;)

What are you enthusiastic about, what are your hobbies? 
There is a lot - from computer and board games to soccer, running and other sports to reading and music - everything is included.

What do you prefer when gaming: PC or console? 
That has already changed several times in my life. The last few years it was more the console.

What kind of films or series do you particularly like to watch or do you watch often? 
There are quite a few things. Classics like Star Wars and Back To The Future, outstanding comedy like Scrubs, Community, but also more serious entertainment.

Are you afraid that you might run out of ideas for a game at some point? 
Since I'm relatively new here, I definitely don't have this fear so far. ;)

Where do you find the inspiration for your work? 
In playing other games - and in the work of my colleagues of course :)

Which game from other studios are you eagerly awaiting and would like to play through? 
In the short term for sure the Final Fantasy VII Remake and Half Life Alyx, even if I don't even have the hardware at home for the latter.

If you weren't working in the game industry today, what would you have done otherwise?
Did you originally have a different career goal? 
Probably similar software developer jobs that I did before Piranha Bytes (with less interesting projects ;-) - I didn't really have any other career aspirations.
