Andreas first encountered Web Design back in Germany while taking Media Design classes where he learned HTML & CSS raw – no CMS, no aiding tools, just notepad and a cheat sheet of tags.

He moved to South Florida, US in 2012 where he became an IT Admin in 2013 and Webmaster by default at a small startup. This is when he used WordPress for the first time in a professional way. And from there on it was a deep dive journey straight into E-Commerce which is why he considers himself now an E-Commerce specialist & Accessibility Advocate.

He works full-time at a local business in West Palm Beach while building and selling Business, Gaming & Workstation PCs under his company ‘Omakase Consult’ – a hardware consulting & custom assembly company.
