My Motivation

Why Commerzbank?

In 2021 I started trading NFTs and Cryptocurrencies, thats why I initially came to Commerzbank. Because the dual study programme offered the fastest way into Banking and Finance whilst still being only 17 and getting a Degree

Why the IDDP?

The ability to rotate between different Units is something very unique. I want to use this ability to get the full 360° Perspective and learn how the bigger Picture presents itself

Why I'm a good fit

After three years in PSBC, CC and the IC-COO I built a base knowledge on how Commerzbank works and what our Clients need from us. Now I would like to build on this knowledge and shape the future

The Website

Step 01 — The Idea

I knew I had to do something special for the IDDP, so instead of just sending documents, I built a functioning custom website alongside a video to underline my application.

Step 02 — Design & Build

Built with HTML and CSS as the main components. Used GitHub during development for version control and iteration, with main hosting on IONOS for a customised domain.

Step 03 — Hosting & Backend

Used PHP to power the permanent Q&A dashboard and to handle downloading of my personal application files.
