Began my coding career because of the family hotel business. Started coding websites, progressed onto building status boards (vertically mounted tvs) for the today’s Programm, dabbled in document management (instapdf.com), employee management (baseping.com) and worked my way up to actually implementing 3 different versions of iOS apps interfacing with different POS systems (ordervisto.com). Getting live feedback from these systems was invaluable and really helped with finding out what works and what doesn’t instantly.

The hotel is sold now and I’m wondering if I’ll ever work in such a challenging and multifaceted environment again.
