My name is Martin Bock and I'm a full stack developer. Occasionally, I will also do some consulting work with a focus on web technologies and digitization in general. Currently, I am pursuing my master's degree in Computer Science and Media at Stuttgart Media University.

Apart from my passion for software, I love technology and making stuff in all shapes and forms.
In line with these interests, I discovered the world of 3D printing fairly recently.

Another hobby of mine is photography, shooting everything from portraits to landscapes to concerts to video shoots.
