More About Me
About

Traveller through coding and technology landscapes since 1996.

Markus Kiss

I like coding software and exploring new technologies since 1996 when I wrote my first QBasic program. Nowadays, after more than 20 years, computer science and technology still fascinate me. The power of building new solutions that provide elevated customer and business value impresses me. Working with teams of nice people interested in their domains makes me glad and is one of the reasons why I like my job.
