About.

I`m a mathematician with a PhD and a Master’s degree in pure mathematics from the University of Cologne. I minored in computer science, concentrating on graph theory and theoretical CS.

In early '14 I attended the "winter batch" of Hacker School, a three-month, New York-based program for software developers, where the students exclusively concentrate on becoming better programmers. I almost solely focussed on diving deep into pure JavaScript.

Although my field of research is of purely abstract and conceptual nature (the technologies involved don't reach beyond whiteboards and markers) I have always been interested and passioned about programming and technology.
