I am passionate about developing software for more than 20 years now and currently have the privilege to head the first Bosch Internal Open Source Community at Bosch. Before joining Bosch, I worked with the Line Information software consultancy in Hamburg, the Zurich System House in Cologne and Daimler research in Ulm. I studied computer science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Massachussetts at Dartmouth, USA.
