I have been working as a developer for more than 15 years. During this time, I have used various languages and technologies (Lua, Perl, PHP, C#, Java, ActionScript, JavaScript). I have always been a visual person and try to produce visual results with my work whenever I can. So I quickly came to the decision that the combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is the toolbox of my choice.

I strongly believe in the openness of the Internet and JavaScript which led me to support that cause in my private life as well: I founded MunichJS – a JavaScript user group, worked as an editor for MAG.js – the first German JavaScript magazine and currently organizing the JS Kongress – community-driven JavaScript Conference in Munich
