ABOUT LUKAS TRÖTZMULLER
Lukas Trötzmüller became interested in fireworks in 2006. He wanted to create his own fireworks shows, but was unable to find a realistic simulation software. So he started developing it himself, with the help of experienced pyrotechnicians and fireworks enthusiasts. That’s how the first version of FWsim was created in 2010. Since then, thousands of fireworks enthusiasts and professionals have adopted it as their favorite creative tool. When he’s not working on FWsim, Lukas enjoys playing music and organizes events on productive communication, meditation and philanthropy.
