About me

I’m 24years old, studying computer science in media at the Stuttgart media university.

I’m interested in everything concerning usability, improving user experience, getting rid of proprietary stuff, convincing people that better software is possible, and of course in-depth diving-adventures into the core of computer systems.

Besides, I’m doing music ( guitar playing, even for money ), rarely sports and last but not least and I’m quite good at partying.

At the moment my fields of interests are mainly Operating Systems ( thanks to Walter Kriha for the excellent lecture ), Distributed Systems ( living in the cloud ) and I’m still toying with idea of developing a language, a application capable of running webapps without anything annoying the programmer. Would be nice.

You can find me at LinkedIn, Facebook, StudiVZ, youTube, Twitter and for sure at some more places I don’t remember right now.

Projects I’ve been doing in the past were, most notably maybe, www.devilsdance.de which was a lyrics database I did using PHP ( i was 16 at that time … ) ending up having 20.000 lyrics ( and security issues ), a CMS I did with a good friend of mine, Max, and of course some day-to-day hacking, which would certainly take some more paragraphs to explain. For the up-to-date stuff visit the projects page ( you see the navigation on top, right? )

At all, I’m quite enthusiastic towards anything that features the ability to be programmable and to be modified in unexpected ways, though my microwave oven is still in its original condition, and I’m always willing to join cool projects.

One thing I’m eager to mention is that I’m German, and English is of course not my mother tongue. So please have some mercy when judging my english.
