Interests and Experiences

Embedded systems: I like working on embedded systems, in particular close to the hardware. Currently I earn my living by programming them, so far mostly for the automotive industry. I also work with microcontrollers and electronics as a hobby (NXP LPC17xx ARM Cortex M3, Atmel AVR).
Companies I've worked for: Siemens VDO, TÜV Nord, Delphi, Bombardier Transportation, Continental
Java, OSGi: Previously I worked on a car multimedia system in Java for Siemens VDO. In the interview they asked me a lot of questions about Lejos.
Linux: I have long experience as user, admin of my personal machines and as a kernel driver developer. I started using it at the end of 1992.
Free and open-source software: I make my personal projects open-source, preferably GPL.
I helped start the Taxbird project, a GPLed implementation for declaring german taxes electronically via Elster. I'm no longer active in this project.
Programming languages: Java, C, C++, Assembler, Lisp, Python, Haskell, Caml, ...
Human languages: I'm quite fluent in german, english, french and swedish and know a few bits of italian, dutch and icelandic.
Research and university teaching: Logic, automated deduction, term rewriting: 2000-2003 LORIA, Nancy, France, 1991-2000 Max Planck Institute for Computer Science, Saarbrücken, Germany
LEGO: I like to play with LEGO, especially LEGO robotics.
