"I used to work in IT as a network administrator, programmer, and database developer in various government authorities and businesses. Although I'm a jurist with all my heart and soul, I've never lost interest in IT matters. I’m particularly interested in how the rules of the civil code and code of civil procedure, which go back up to 150 years, can be interpreted and developed so that they provide meaningful results even in the digitalisation age. You need to study the underlying principles of the respective legal fields first to be able to identify the value-based decisions behind the regulations and transpose them into today's economic life."
