Engineer
Konrad Zuse
Built the first programmable computer in his parents' living room in Berlin in 1941, which was destroyed by bombing and largely unknown outside Germany for decades.
Konrad Ernst Otto Zuse was a German civil engineer, pioneering computer scientist, inventor and businessman. His greatest achievement was the world's first programmable computer; the functional program-controlled Turing-complete Z3 became operational in May 1941. Thanks to this machine and its predecessors, Zuse is regarded by some as the inventor and father of the modern computer.
