Linz, Austria
Hi, I’m Philipp from Linz. I study Mobile Computing at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. I enjoy building meaningful mobile apps and exploring how tech can improve everyday life. Outside of coding, I love making music, running, and playing football. I'm curious, creative, and always eager to learn — especially when it comes to combining technology with human-centered design.
