Welcome to my portfolio
Currently, I am the software engineering team lead and extended reality expert at Goodpatch, an international design firm. I am responsible for the european software development team and for coaching junior developers.
After graduating from the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin with a degree in game design, I co-founded komorebi interactive, an augmented and virtual reality studio. I saw an opportunity at Goodpatch for bringing in my gained experience and projects while getting the responsibility to build a team.
Benjamin has always had a passion for software development and clean software architecture while relishing problems for their learning opportunities.
