, Managing Director, Werkmeister Labs GmbH
Fabian spent six years studying business administration, which was considered a "safe career path," and worked in business for another two years before realizing that this wasn't the right path for him. The turning point came with a line of code in SPSS—after that, it was clear that he belonged on the tech side. He quit his job, did a data boot camp, and started as a trainee at FUNKE Mediengruppe. There, he progressed from trainee to senior data engineer in five years. Since early 2026, he has been self-employed, building minimalist data systems for SMEs. His philosophy: less complexity, more impact. He discovered and cultivated this philosophy in 2024 during a 12-month trip around the world through 14 countries with his backpack, which is also the theme of his slam.
