ABOUT ME
Problem Solver, Automation Enthusiast, Pragmatist
Problem Solver, Automation Enthusiast, Pragmatist
I mainly work as a Consultant and Developer to help companies on their way to a more agile and user focused way of developing software and/or hardware. I enjoy being a mentor to others and love to learn through intensive collaboration.
Things you hear me saying very often:
- Test Automation
- Pair Programming
- Test Early Approaches like TDD
Every achievement in my life was supported and enabled by great mentors and teachers that supported me whenever it mattered most. I think it is every ones responsibility to give away the knowledge that was shared in order to enable others on their own way.

I started using Linux many years ago by switching to Debian initially. After a short while it struck me to try out Arch Linux and here I am sitting now, typing this very text on my Arch Linux desktop.
Managing a multitude of desktop machines, laptops and servers through out my carrer and my personal life, I happened to catch quite some details about the administration and configuration of Linux machines in general.

Vim has been my go-to editor since I started working with Linux.
I use it every day in my job for most of the programming tasks I am doing.
To increase my editor skills, I try to steer away from using too many plugins - Instead I am focusing on zen like efficiency with just the bare metal of vim.

Python is quite relevant in the embedded world to aid as a utility belt for build and test automation. It has excellent capabilities to manipulate build targets (e.g. ELF Files) or control and monitor hardware components.
I used it in several embedded firmware projects for test and build automation tasks.
