Dipl.-Inf. (FH) Luca Hofmann

I am a freelance software developer with a focus on Android- and Web-Applications. I started to write small programs with about 14 years on my Commodore 64. A few years later I decided to study computer science to become a professional software developer.

Today I am writing software using Java and JavaScript and I also have knowledge in other languages like C#, python, GLSL and C++.

I work with technologies that help me find solutions for my needs like Android SDK, AngularJS, WebGL, Unity3D, .Net, OpenGL ES, libGDX, nodeJS and others. Of cause I am using developer tools like git and jira etc. If you worked with many different technologies it is easier to understand another.

I always try to find easy solutions to reduce complexity and write well structured, solid software with a focus on code quality. These points are important to take responsibility of the work that I do.

You can find me at xing, linkedin and gulp or simply write me a mail HofmannLuca@gmail.com. If you are interested in the projects that I have done please take a look at my project page.
