      After several years of self-tuition, working with Macintosh Computers, Python and Django to make web apps, I was unable to find an apprenticeship as a software developer that matched my aspirations and skills. Therefore I started an apprenticeship at Hotel Seerose in Meisterschwanden to become a qualified chef (my second passion). During my apprenticeship I continued coding and got involved in multiple projects, including the envisioned startup company Gourmendo.
