Combining Worlds...

The story and motivation behind

"It´s about doing, not waiting for things to happen by themselves"

Hi, my name is Steff...

Steff, short for Stefan. Born in 1991 in a small town in southern Germany, Bavaria. And yes, you can call me a proud Bavarian too.
What can you expect of me? An open-minded character who seeks to challenge himself. A person who follows his mission: To realize the vision of combining worlds.

But what does that mean? Basically this: It´s about combining the world of being an engineer with the one of being a kitesurf instructor. E voilà, I created my own lifestyle of being a Kite-Engineer.
A freelancer that provides services:

  • • that are related to the sport of kiteboarding as well as
  • • in particular fields of engineering like semiconductor manufacturing.

And no, I don´t design kites. Nor am I looking forward to integrate electronics into kites. At least not for now - who knows?
It´s my unique way of dealing with our beloved capitalism: I share what I like doing and you get what you have not yet had before. That makes everyone a winner!
