Marcel Kraus

Senior Software Developer

iOS & web developer, freelancer, all-rounder from Erftstadt near Cologne. I build apps, websites – and everything in between.

Milestones

From a lovingly nicknamed "show intern" excursion into the working world to senior software developer, from a private hobby to self-employment with three businesses – the key stages of my professional career at a glance.

All good things come in threes: krausgedruckt completes the business activities of my self-employment. Born from a personal idea, I now offer custom 3D printing services: competent, timely, affordable.
