Josef has been active for more than 15 years as a "Complete"-Stack developer for industrial controls by now. He's done everything from debugging hardware to writing drivers, from application development to web front ends. A passion for showing, telling, and teaching people in both entertaining and engaging ways led Josef to Mender.io. Here, he tries to make the world better and more secure by enabling OTA updates for as many devices as possible. Taking this passion, combining it with a keen interest in building systems and how they can be brought to the next generation of developers, Josef has been awarded Yocto Project Ambassador status. As such, Josef has also reached many thousands of aspiring developers not only through his presentations at various events and conferences but also by livecoding sessions and webinars. Josef holds a degree in Electrical Engineering / Computer Science from the University of Applied Sciences, Ingolstadt.
