Marco Schönert
Engineer and Software Developer at Duke from Paris
I like to build things, fast. I build stuff that will make you think, some that will make you laugh. I'm always learning new things, at the moment I'm learning legislation and delegation.
"I don't know why people think effort and energy have anything to do with creation. I suppose that in matters like politics, medicine, history and religion they have been lied to also. I turn on my belly and fall asleep with my ass to the ceiling." - Bukowski
