What happened to Qrixy...

UpdatedJanuary 14, 2025

Born in 1981 in Ludwigsfelde, Germany, I grew up in a working-class family and was always encouraged to be curious and seek out new experiences. During my 11th school year, my teacher introduced me to Java programming and I discovered a passion for software development. After finishing high school, I started studying computer science at the University of Potsdam but dropped out before completing my degree. Because of my wife I went on to Hamburg to work for several software development companies, eventually restarting my studies in 2010 in Business Informatics and earning my bachelor's degree in early 2015.

One of my proudest professional achievements was setting up a payment gateway for some large clients in the German public transportation market. On private software development I challenged myself with a personal project, building an app to fill a gap in Facebook Pages post list feature.

I believe that the future of software development lies in the use of AI and I want to stay ahead of the curve by being an early adopter of these new tools. If others asks me about a statement in the field I want to encourage them always to be curious, question patterns, and never be afraid of change.

Since I released the very first version of my QR code generator https://qrixy.me I tried to enhance it several times. I came up with the idea to introduce a "Pro Mode" for Qrixy, which would offer users the ability to add a logo to their QR codes and customise the colours. This enhancement aims to provide more personalisation. options, allowing users to create QR codes that better align with their brand identity or personal preferences.

The changes to Qrixy have been eagerly awaited by the users, who have shared their enthusiasm for more personalisation features. I've received some good feedback from users who find the tool not only effective but also a joy to use. Many have told me how often they rely on Qrixy for their QR code needs, and it's incredibly rewarding to know that it plays such a valuable role in their personal and professional lives.

As I continue to think about further enhancements for Qrixy, I'm eager to hear from you about what features you'd like to see next. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping the future of the tool, and I'm committed to making Qrixy even more useful and enjoyable for everyone. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to share them with me. Together, we can make Qrixy the best it can be.
