Things I do

I'm a huge fan of everything HTML5 and JavaScript! Node.js with bells and whistles as well as frameworks and tools (CoffeeScript, Backbone, Dojo, jQuery, etc.) are fantastic, but I am particularly interested in app development - either for the web, mobile clients or as pseudo-native apps (if you read German, go buy my JS/HTML5 app development for Windows 8 book on Amazon). C#, especially used for app development for Windows Phone and Windows 8, is also within my reach.

I'm also no stranger to web app server technologies (LAMP and all it's fancy grandchildren like nginx), still consider PHP a fairly useful language and currently run my own stuff on a W/IIS8. Cloudy things are amazing - I specialize in application backends (IaaS/PaaS on Azure & AWS) and can help you run Unix and Windows VMs, use backend building blocks or consumer cloud services.

Things I did

I got my startup experience running the German Apfeltalk.de magazine, covering everything Apple, which I did as Executive Editor until 2011, followed by me joining the reigns of Microsoft Germany to help developers rock app development. Before that, I worked as freelancer building web applications and in similar functions as Web Lead with advertising agency TFY and as New Media Research Associate with the ICM at the University of Duesseldorf.

Academically, I graduated from the MSc program at the University of Oxford’s Internet Institute, researching at the intersection of sociology, law, economics, communications and computer science. Before that, I studied literature and communication at the University of Duesseldorf, where I also spend some time as visiting lecturer for app development.

Get in touch!

I do believe that few things are on par with a face to face meeting. I live and work in San Francisco, spending most of my time at coworking spaces, incubators and other locations where founders, coders and hackers huddle together. As a caffeine addict, I am always happy to discuss projects over espresso!
