Fabian Schober

Hi, I'm Fabian.

I’m a software developer with a strong background in full-stack web development and game development.

In my work experience, I have focused on the end-to-end development of a diverse set of projects, from initial concept through to final implementation, and I always strive to balance attention to detail with the broader vision.

As the founder of Dirty Paws Studio, I create video games and interactive applications, with a particular focus on serious games and gamification.

I also teach master-level classes at the University of Klagenfurt, where I share my knowledge and passion for multimedia technologies, game production, and engineering.
