I am a Full Stack Developer
and Game Designer from Dortmund, Germany

My name is Christian Hanne. Currently I live in Dortmund, a city in the west of Germany. For slightly more than 16 years I am professionally involved in software and game development. I love coding and solving complex problems.

When I am not sitting in front of my pc or laptop, I enjoy hiking, exercising and cooking. I drink my coffee with a shot of milk and no sugar.

Resume

1984

I was born on 23.02.1984 in Münster. Münster is a city in the northern west of Germany. The city's most prominent feature is its historic old town, which was lavishly reconstructed after its destruction in the Second World War.

1990

In 1990, I was able to use a computer for the first time in my life. My father had actually purchased it as a work tool. But I quickly learned that you could also play games with it. Among the first were Sokoban and Prince of Persia. I still remember the sounds and gameplay vividly.

2003

I want to be honest. I was never a particularly good student. Most of the time I was only physically present in class, if at all. Nevertheless, I graduated from high school in 2003, majoring in mathematics and geography.

2003

My civilian service began in the same year. I served as a kitchen help in an retirement home in the south of Münster. In fact, I was not obliged to do it. But it was important to me personally, so I volunteered.

2004

In preparation for my studies, I completed an internship at Hengst SE. I worked there together with the trainees in the maintenance department. After my time as a kitchen help, that was a culture shock.

2004

My studies began at the end of the year. I had enrolled at Münster University of Applied Sciences to study engineering. However, for reasons beyond my knowledge, the department was located in Steinfurt. A small town north of Münster.

2005

During the semester break, I worked as an intern again. This time at Behn + Bates in the assembly area. Personally, I enjoyed this internship the most.

2008

Finally, I held my diploma in my hands. I was now officially a graduate engineer and had learned one thing. I would never work in this field. All through college, I had been waiting for the one subject that would fascinate me. But it never came.

2008

However, I could not live on air and love. So I started to turn my hobby into a profession. As a freelancer, I began my cumbersome way into the world of professional software development. In the beginning, I often worked for a pittance.

2010

I managed to get by in this way for 2 years. Then I decided to apply for a job at a few companies in the area. That same year I started working for labor b designbüro. I have been working there until today.

2012

After working as a software developer for 4 years, I felt the need to share my previous experiences with the world (i.e. you). That's how the first version of my blog was born, which at that time was still implemented with Drupal.

2020

In 2020 I decided to professionalize my game development. Even before that, I had been developing small games from time to time. Now I wanted to focus more on that. I founded Aureola.
