GitHub Sponsors Profile
I am 46 years old, married, and have two children aged 15 and 18. I was born in Germany, spent the first ten years in Bielefeld, and then moved with my family to Cologne, where I still live.
I graduated from high school, did my community service in an environmental institute, and then studied computer science with a minor in business administration at the University of Bonn. I focused on computer security, networks, and finite-state models during my major. I wrote my diploma thesis cooperating with Fraunhofer about a Europe-wide computer security system.
Since then, I have worked in different roles (expert, project lead, executive) in the financial industry. First in information security, and later in architecture and quality assurance.
I'm a knowledge worker, so I've long been interested in strategies, methods, and tools for efficiently storing, searching, and networking information.
In early 2020, I became seriously ill with Covid-19. I was in a coma for more than four weeks and had to be kept alive in ICU with ECMO. After waking up, I could not stand, walk, or even open a water bottle. It took me months to recover. That was certainly the most drastic experience of my life.
"Tools for Thought" have helped me find my way back to life.
I am quite active on Twitter, if you like, feel free to follow me there. If you want to contact me, don’t hesitate to write an E-Mail.
