I'm a software developer living in Bonn, Germany. I'm writing software since I'm a kid, my first Computer was a Commodore 16 on which I learned to program in Basic. Later on a Commodore 64 I learned assembler and after a short-time usage of an Amiga 500 I eventually ended up with a PC where I first learned Pascal, then C/C++, then later PHP, Python and Java and now I mostly use JavaScript/TypeScript.

I love playing games, too, so my coding activities usually have something to do with gaming as well:

• Canonn Decryptor (Tool to decrypt the mysteries of the Elite Dangerous universe)
• Xadrian (a factory complex calculator for the games X³: Terran Conflict and X³: Albion Prelude)
• Wasteland Suite (a set of command line tools for working with the game files of the classic RPG Wasteland)

I also developed a USB library for Java which unfortunately is currently pretty much unmaintained because I'm too busy with my job and other projects.

Currently my main technology stack is Node.js, TypeScript, Jest, Eslint, Electron and Visual Studio Code.

Lately I was involved in the development of Friendly Fire, a small game which was developed within two days for the Ludum Dare Game Jam. I hope I can find the time to get more active in game development like this in the future.
