My Motivation
After completing my studies in Media Technology & Design and Digital Arts, I have been able to take part in many projects and work with the relevant teams on efficient solutions to a wide range of tasks. I also offer courses at a technical college and a university on the subject of “3D Design” & “Video Game Development”.
A major goal that I have set myself is to create experiences that interact with people, stimulate their imagination, unite them in team tasks and enable them to work together towards a goal. This factor of achieving the same goal together not only strengthens friendships but can take the bond between people to a whole new level. I love creating immersive worlds full of adventure and tasks to master that leave an unforgettable impression in minds and hearts.
My motivation for innovation and my passion for creating unforgettable experiences drive me to explore new technologies and test the limits of what is possible. I firmly believe that my approaches can make a positive contribution to the media industry and bring people closer together.

Internship: Media Generalist – Attraktion!
www.attraktion.com
(March 2022 – June 2022)
While I studied Mediatechnology & Design at University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria – Campus Hagenberg I did the 4 month internship to get my bachelor’s degree. My tasks varied in many different areas. Beside 3D modelling, uv mapping, rigging, animating, video editing I also invented and designed new game ideas for future adventure parks and created visuals.
Apprenticeship: Information Technologist – TIWAG (Tiroler Wasserkraft)
(2015 – 2019)
In the course of this training I got to know the basics of many IT infrastructures and how to deal with all kinds of problems, to attend projects, to follow processes and to get to know many processing chains. I also worked as client support for six months in the help desk and solved problems of all kinds of computer system failures.
During this apprenticeship, I discovered my creativity in 3D, film and photo editing in the private sector and thus created security videos in a team of apprentices that were supposed to protect the employees from viruses, fraudulent e-mails and data theft such as social engineering. These videos became so popular that the CEO even went public with them.
Apprenticeship: Electrician – ÖBB (Österreichische Bundesbahn)
(2014 – 2015)
My so-called year of self-discovery. Learning pure electronics without any creative tasks was not my wish. However, with the skills I learned, I was able to gain a basic understanding of current and voltage, which has already helped me in many tasks.
