About

Florian Kuhlmann
Hi, I’m Florian Kuhlmann — a creative mind, nerd, coder and artist from Düsseldorf, Germany.

I’m part of the last generation that remembers life before computers, the internet, and smartphones took over our lives. So, if you ever need stories about the “good old days” or help debugging your latest digital project, I’m your guy!

Currently I work as a software and tribe architect at Atruvia AG, where I am responsible for CMS, DAM, App and Crypto for the Volksbanken — Germany’s cooperative banks.

Over more than two decades I have moved between software engineering, art and digital culture. Here is an overview of the roles I work in.
