About Me

I’m a software engineer, web developer and photographer from Berlin, Germany.

I have the German equivalent of a master’s degree in computer sciences and my main job is at a hosting provider and domain registrar. If you want to know what I’ve got to say, you should follow my and my .

The best way to get in touch with me is .

Tech

I prefer UNIX-like operating systems, especially OS X & GNU/Linux. I love programming and basically started hacking since I got my first computer in the early 1990’s.

Currently, my tools of trade are C, Python and (Java|Coffee)Script. But I’ve already done serious projects in nearly every major language out there. My favorite frameworks are Twisted, Pyramid and Django – depending on the problem to be solved.

When it comes to design of any kind, I strongly believe that minimalism always wins. I love beautiful typography though.

My private projects can be found on . Though most of my current Open Source efforts center around CPython (i.e. the default Python implementation most people are using), which I am a core developer and committer of.

Photography

I love taking great pictures of people. Whenever traveling to exotic places, I try to capture the original inhabitants like the – the head hunters of Borneo. Together with my girlfriend I also picture-heavy about our travels.

When at home, I’m currently building a photography business called with my friend Nils. We totally rock the f-stop.

Health

I try to live a primal/paleo life as coined by Mark Sisson and Robb Wolf. Yes it works, I lost weight and got much stronger and healthier without hunger and hours in the gym.

After having helped many people to lose weight, Nils and I launched a German site about the Primal life so others can benefit from our knowledge. Thus if you’re fluent in German and want to get slimmer, stronger and healthier, make sure to visit us.
