about me
Right now I'm with the IBM Corporation as Corporate Webmaster for ibm.com, dealing with interesting projects and problems every day. The Webmasters are responsible for 100 country portals across the globe, maintaining a 100% portal availability. My focus is JavaScript on ibm.com (especially jQuery) as well as the ibm.com Wireless Portal. Before that I worked on internal productivity tools based on PHP/MySQL and some C#/.NET productivity applications. Regularly I'm attending various internal and external conferences around the world.
Prior joining IBM I studied Information Technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Wr. Neustadt - a very broad education covering a lot of interesting areas like micro controllers, electrical engineering, databases, programming, project management and much more. During that time I worked as freelancer on Web and coding projects, most of them Web-related.
I am an IBM Level 2 Certified IT Specialist as well as a Zend Certified Engineer.
In my private life I'm reading a lot (c't, novels of Dan Brown, others recommended to me...), I love to cycle at the Wienerwald and be outside in the nature. Recently I joined the Shaolin Temple Austria to learn Shaolin Kung Fu.
As you can see from articles and blog entries on this Website I love to travel to see the most beautiful and interesting parts of the world. I'm also an Apple freak and trying to convince everyone to switch over to Mac OS, the iPhone and all other devices they have or introduce in the future :)
Happy hacking!
