about me

image_about
Hi there! My name is Jens Driller.
I'm a 23-year old <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.

Since I can remember I've always had a major passion for digital media and technology. In 2010, I left the German mainland and came to the British island where I successfully completed my BSc Web Development at Southampton Solent University.
Awarded with the British Computer Society Prize for the top final year student, I moved to Canterbury where I'm currently doing I've recently successfully finished the MSc Mobile Application Design at University Of Kent.

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

Exactly at the time when the hype about smartphones and tablets was at its peak (or is it still to come?), I decided to place my emphasis on mobile development, courageously thinking that this sector will see a thriving future.

Entering the world of coding...

This two year apprenticeship in my hometown Paderborn was my first step into the world of software engineering and development. I liked the great variety of courses I was offered - from design courses like text and graphic design and photography via audio vision and 3D modelling through to web development and software engineering. To be more precise, I learnt the vital aspects of both sides - designing and coding. And that's what makes a good developer, isn't it? I succesfully completed this degree as a State-Certified Specialist in Media Informatics & Design.
