Konsti is a team player, not only in the office – ball sports and especially basketball are his passion when it comes to clearing his mind.
Although he has been on a language trip to England before, his absolute favorite camp is the canoe trip Saale, because he likes to test one or the other programmed functionality on it in the background.
