In this blog series, the newest members of our second family introduce themselves. Today: Trainee Louay Jebran. The 25-year-old Syrian had to drop out of his studies in Damascus two years ago and has now gained a foothold at byte5.

My Way to byte5

Where are you from? Where were you before you came to byte5?

I am from Syria. I came to Germany in 2017. Before that, I studied ITE (Information Technology Engineering) at Damascus University in Syria for three years.

What brought you to byte5?

After the German course I did here in Germany, I wanted to continue my education. I decided that a professional training would be the best way for me. Looking for a job, I came across byte5. That was one of the companies that I liked the most.

What are your current tasks?

I am currently working with Xamarin on the app for Stuttgart Airport. Also: learn, learn and learn.

What do you like best about byte5 so far?

The friendly working atmosphere! I was surprised to find that as a trainee I can still take on a part of a project. I like that. I really like learning through practice.

Describe byte5 in three words, starting with the first letter of your name:

Lebensfroh (cheerful), leichtfallen (easy going), Lebenserfahrung (life experience)
