My father is a business IT specialist. He introduced me to the world of computers at a very early age. When my brother, who is now 18, showed me how to programme with Scratch, it opened doors to incredibly exciting technical possibilities.

Developing solutions for work processes and the use of digital products with people on site convinced me.

When I finally got a taste of working as a computer scientist, it was confirmed that I was heading in the right direction. My father drew my attention to the new profession of digital business developer. The combination of working with people on site to develop solutions for work processes and the use of digital products appealed to me.

A diverse profession

It was a little more difficult to get a real idea of what my day-to-day work could look like: because the job is new, I didn't get a taste of it anywhere. At Nexplore, a company that supports digital processes, I got a first insight into my future job. I was also able to sign my apprenticeship contract there. I am now in the first year of my apprenticeship and would start this varied training programme again in a heartbeat.
