Frank loves solving hard problems with code, enjoys building cool stuff and works as CTO for TYPO3 GmbH. He's been involved in developing the TYPO3 CMS core since October 2014 and has been programming professionally since 2000. When he first started with TYPO3, version 3.7 was still in place. In his spare time, he enjoys bowling in the local professional league and has also been an active member of the German Red Cross (GRC) for more than 25 years.
