About me

I am a a full-time software developer living and working in Stuttgart, Germany. As of October 1st 2007 I conclude my studies at my college the BA Stuttgart. My employer, both during my studies and now, is Festo, a german pneumatics manufacturer. I work in the PLC and Machine Vision department, after I finished writing my diploma thesis there from May to September ‘07. The thesis’ topic is the design and implementation of a code generator with a user friendly GUI front end in C#/.NET, that creates XML configuration files for an XSL transformation that associates the user’s input with Structured Text source code. I also freelance for small web projects from time to time.

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.
