I'm a software engineer located in Berlin, Germany.
I'm an architect and build things that work end-to-end, fit for purpose.
I'm a team builder and create structures that empower and let work flow.
I believe you can build great products only with your users in mind. I also know you have to say no a lot.
I remain to be a developer at heart and have worked with loads of programming languages in the past including but not limited to Java, JavaScript, SmallTalk, Prolog, Groovy, Ruby on Rails, CSS, HTML, NodeJS, and friends.
I like to lead and inspire through communication and action; checkout some of my recent talks and tools I've created to suplement them.
I spent a foreign semester at the BTH in Karlskrona, Sweden and received my masters in IT Systems Engineering from the Hasso-Plattner-Institute, University of Potsdam in Potsdam, Germany.
I wrote my master thesis on reversible debugging (some sort of back in time debugging). It will make you never again regret missing a breakpoint. If you use Squeak/Smalltalk.
I've built up the bpmn.io project, providing best-in-class, extensible tooling for viewing and editing BPMN and related standards.
At the moment I work as a principal software engineer at Camunda, a company that helps process centric business to scale through BPM.
Most of the things I do are open source. Check out my GitHub page or some of my projects.
