About my job
I make up the firmware development department at XAL GmbH together with my colleague, Mathias Dittrich, with whom I graduated from FH JOANNEUM. The department was set up when we began work at the company because the need for it was very clear. New technologies enable intelligent systems with minimal production expenditure which makes these systems increasingly interesting for the mass market. As a firmware development department, we meet this exact need. In the near future, we will be encountering increasing challenges in this field and I am very pleased to be part of such a new development.
