                    Jochen joined Europeana at the beginning of 2018 as an experienced Java developer and has been his team’s manager since 2021. He also serves as product owner of the various Metis Suite applications. His drive is to facilitate and empower the valuable work his team does and he is passionate about making robust, usable and maintainable software that helps users do meaningful things. He holds Master's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics and thrives on challenges, as well as tea that is much fancier than what is probably good for him. In his spare time, he is likely reading, hiking, coding, doing math or planning his next trip to some unusual corner of the world.
