About
Hello, my name is Patrick. After many successful years serving as the managing director of a private music school in Vienna and Berlin, I made the decision in spring 2021 to pivot my career due to the significant impact of Covid. Following my passion, I decided to transition into a new role as a:
Full Stack Web Developer.
My journey started by learning the basics of the C programming language at 42 Wolfsburg. There, I acquired a range of skills, from simple, short programs to sorting algorithms and more complex team projects, such as rebuilding a shell. Subsequently, I focused on courses on various online platforms like Coursera or Codecademy to further deepen my skills. Finally, I completed the Web Development Bootcamp at Le Wagon to solidify my knowledge, learn many new skills, and establish a foundation upon which I can build to become a knowledgeable part of the web development community.
I'm eager to collaborate on innovative projects and expand my professional network. If you're interested in discussing potential job opportunities, collaborations, or simply want to connect over shared interests in the tech industry, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's shape the future of web development together!

Professional Experience
Founder & General Manager
2011 - 2023
Vienna, Austria
- Over the years, I have established and sustained a robust digital presence for the company, a process that encompassed everything from the design of the logo to the development and implementation of the website. This wasn't just about creating an online platform, but about crafting a digital identity that truly represented the brand and its values.
- To enhance visibility and increase brand awareness, I leveraged SEO and SEM strategies. This involved careful keyword research, optimization of website content, and strategic online advertising. The result was a significant increase in web traffic and a stronger online presence.
- One of my key projects was the implementation of a billing system using PHP, WordPress, and WooCommerce. This wasn't just a technical task - it required a deep understanding of the company's operations and the needs of our customers. The new system led to significant savings in time and cost, streamlined our operations, and minimized the possibility of errors.
- As the leader of a team of more than 10 teachers, I took on the responsibility of facilitating routine meetings and arranging activities aimed at fostering team cohesion. I believe in the power of teamwork and collaboration, and I made it a priority to create an environment where every team member felt valued and heard.
- My significant contribution to the company's evolution into one of the most prominent private music schools in Vienna is a testament to my robust problem-solving skills, proactive mentality, and swift adaptability to changing circumstances. Throughout this journey, I faced numerous challenges, but with my leadership and a clear vision, I was able to turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and learning.
Portfolio
From web apps built with Ruby on Rails to Wordpress websites, you can find several of my projects here. I am particularly proud of the web app "TeamUp", which I have collaboratively developed from the initial concept to the final product with a team of four. I look forward to adding many more exciting projects in the future.
