He came to fluid to develop great apps – and where better to do that than at fluidmobile? Our headquarters in Karlsruhe are also conveniently located for him, as Oli is a hobby programmer in a number of communities and is active as a gamer on all platforms. In our 10 fluid questions, he explains how important intuitive software, time and the prevention of a disaster are to him.
