In the summer of 2017, Kai graduated with a master’s degree in Industrial Design Engineering, a study that primarily focused on the development of tangible 3D products. However, during this study, he discovered that he became even more enthusiastic about designing 2D products (software for computer or smartphone screens). His graduation internship at a mobile application development firm made him even more excited about user experience (UX) design and convinced him after graduating to find a first “real” job as UX Designer at a software company.

In December 2017, Kai started to work as UX Designer at Yoast, a company located in The Netherlands that is well-known for its Yoast SEO for Wordpress plugin and recently also for the Yoast SEO for TYPO3 plugin. His primary task is to identify requirements and wishes of stakeholders and translate them into beautiful and user-friendly user experiences/interfaces.

Besides working at Yoast, Kai has a great passion for playing, watching & listening to music, as well as playing, watching & ehm… listening(?) to soccer.

Oliver started to work with TYPO3 in 2005 and was fascinated by the product and its universe. He soon started to get involved into community aspects and implemented "Inline Relational Record Editing (IRRE)" in 2006 - which as well has been the title of his diploma thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Hof (Germany). Based on that commitment, he was invited to join the TYPO3 Core Development Team in 2007.

Currently he is working as a freelance software engineer and is researching on advanced web technology topics in general and for TYPO3 in particular.

In his spare time, Oliver loves to go cycling cross-country in the uplands around Hof (Germany) in northern Bavaria - at the region where he's living as well.

Meanwhile, as a Professional Scrum Master and Product Owner at in2code, I take care of the management of large-scale projects - especially in the area of universities and colleges.

When managing a TYPO3 project, it is very important to me that future editors find their way quickly and easily in the backend and enjoy working with TYPO3. Unfortunately, this point is quickly neglected. I'd like users in the TYPO3 backend to only see the things they really need and intuitively know where to look to get to a specific destination.
