Career Profile

Philipp is an Angular / AngularJS early adopter and recognized as one of the leading experts in this area. He is also the author of the first German book on that topic. Moreover, Philipp loves all kinds of web technologies and distributed systems and has spent the past 20 years studying them intensely.

If he is not fiddling around with JavaScript, TypeScript, Go or Java, Philipp is most likely teaching others to do so. Lately, his main area of interest are programmable blockchains (e.g. Ethereum), DApps and all use cases that are connected to these technologies.
