Remember GeoCities? That’s where I started communicating online. In 2000, I built my first website using Microsoft FrontPage. If you were interested in vampires back then, you might have stumbled across my project. In 2008 I became a regular Wikipedia editor.

My professional career as a TYPO3 content creator and editor began in 2011 for the German Green Party. In 2012, I contributed to the relaunch of the State Portal of Baden-Württemberg on TYPO3 — and I’ve been working with it ever since. Yes, I experimented with other CMS, like WordPress for a personal project on electric cars starting 2012, but if you know, you know.

Over the years, I became a true TYPO3 evangelist. Working for the State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg until 2023, I advocated within the administration for Open Source Software and “public value for public money.” In 2023, I switched sides and joined ressourcenmangel GmbH as a consultant. My mission: to create better citizen experiences, champion digital sovereignty, and raise awareness for digital accessibility. All of these goals require the right CMS — and in my opinion, that’s TYPO3.
