Personal summary
I live with my girlfriend Julia in a lovely apartment right below the vineyards of Stuttgart. If you check out my flickr photo stream and look carefully you will be able to spot them, Julia and the vineyards that is. Being a software developer is my profession of choice but next to that I have quite many interests. My hobbies include technology in general, reading, digital photography, cycling, hiking, Poker, Go, movies, cooking and others.
