Florian Schneider
Creative Developer & Technical Production Manager
Stage and Screen.
As Technical Manager at the Berliner Festspiele, Gropius Bau and Volksbühne, I learned how these institutions work — what they need, what drives them, and what they can't afford.
In 2022 I learned to code at Le Wagon Bootcamp in Berlin. Since then I've been building websites — focused on the world I know: culture, art, Berlin.
I use Claude daily at work — mostly for boilerplate, debugging and the boring parts. I still read every line before it goes live.
