David Markus is my name, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve been playing around with computers: from my first scripts on an old MSX Clone to the first touch of the mouse on a Mac SE. Later came the hobby of building my own web-, mail- and application-servers. At some point my hobby became my job and years later I can still find joy in figuring out complex problems and situations.
I also figured out that there’s more to life than just work. I participated in extracurricular events in college, I volunteered at a youth center, co-founded a music platform, I immersed into photography and toured around the country as a VJ.
Nowadays I enjoy a long walk with our dog, an evening filled with new technology, organize a beer tasting for friends and spend time with my wife and two wonderful daughters.
