I am from Germany, and have been living in Munich since moving here for my studies in computer science about 12 years ago. I am a free and open source software enthusiast.

I am also a member of the LibreOffice Engineering Steering Committee (ESC). Besides my involvement in LibreOffice, I have also contributed a few changes to other open source projects
