about me

Hi there! My name is Jens Driller.
I'm a <web> and mobile developer from Germany, currently living in London, UK.

I'm passionate about coding for the WWW and developing apps for mobile devices. I enjoy experimenting with cutting edge and emerging web technologies to keep up-to-date in this fast and ever developing branch.

I'm currently working as an Android Developer @ zeebox in the beautiful Covent Garden in Central London.

When I'm not coding, I'm probably hanging out with my girlfriend, working out at the gym, playing football or messing around with the little green robot or something made by Steve Jobs.

Here are some more facts about me:

Born in Paderborn, Germany
Can tip the ball 100 times
Google Enthusiast
Loves Electronic Music
