Hi, I'm Manuel Rauber

I work as a consultant at Thinktecture AG and love creating mobile cross-platform applications with HTML5 and JavaScript using Angular, Cordova, and Electron in the frontend, and Node.js or .NET in the backend. I'm writing regularly for the German Windows Developer magazine and I'm publishing on my blog to share my experiences.

In my spare time I volunteer for Hackerstolz e.V. - a club to encourage digital culture in Germany.

For my community activities I was awarded as MVP by Microsoft.

You can reach me via Twitter or Twitch.
