Summary

I have been passionate about electronics and computers since my school days. So it was only natural to combine the two and control, for example, a model railway or stereo system with a computer. This was followed by studying computer science, a related hardware-oriented diploma thesis, and starting my professional career in research and development. I still enjoy working close to the hardware, using a soldering iron and assembler if necessary. But I also like developing desktop software whose "world" ends at the keyboard and monitor. I find implementing new software just as exciting as optimizing existing programs.
