Marvin Ottersberg is a 25-year-old software developer based in Kiel, Germany, with a wanderlust heart. His work in Web3 allows him the freedom to blend his passion for coding with a love for travel. Whether on the road or settled in a new place, Marvin always seeks connections with diverse cultures and enjoys sports like climbing and surfing. His passion for coffee leads him to explore local cafés and savor unique blends, adding another layer of enjoyment to his travels. He is also eager to delve into martial arts soon.

Marvin's academic path in media engineering coincided with launching three unique projects. His first venture into 3D printing involved creating bespoke products for clients; however, he became concerned about the environmental impact of plastic waste from this project. In response, he and his best friend embarked on a mission to recycle and reuse this waste, even securing a small scholarship to support their research. Although this project faced insurmountable barriers, it provided valuable learning experiences and fostered his desire to start a business that benefits the planet.

Concurrently, Marvin was deeply involved in another startup, where the team developed a mushroom tincture to strengthen the immune systems of honey bees. This venture, along with his 3D printing experiences, solidified his aspiration to contribute positively to people, animals, and the environment through innovative startups.

Personal health challenges, such as a herniated disc and chronic pain, have only strengthened Marvin's resolve. He is on a mission to rebuild his body and spirit to fulfill a dream close to his heart—joining Sea Shepherd in their noble cause to protect the oceans and marine life. Each day, through his hobbies and work, Marvin moves closer to this dream, driven by a commitment to make a meaningful impact on the world.
