I started getting involved in the world of computers in 1987, when I got a Commodore C128, which I used to learn BASIC. Since the programs were always so slow, I soon moved to the Commodore's assembly language. Finally I started to learn Pascal using Turbo Pascal 3.0 in the C128's CP/M mode.
Three years later I switched to the PC world, where I continued to write programs in Pascal, then moved to C, learned some x86 assembly and finally moved to C++.
Those activities lead to the decision to study computer science at the Fachhochschule Karlsruhe - Hochschule für Technik from 1993 to 1999. During this time, I worked as freelancer in the following areas:
- Unix system administration
- Microcontroller programing (the famous 8032 familiy, more precisely the 80C552, and the PIC-family)
- Software development for MacOS, Windows NT and Unix (C, C++)
After I had finished my studies, I started to work as software engineer at Agile Software Corporation (formerly EIGNER), a leading supplier of Product Lifecycle Management systems. My first project was to work within the iViP project, a research project sponsored by the german Ministry for Research and Education (BMBF). There, I got in contact with the CORBA architecture, especially with the PDM Enablers specification by the Object Management Group.
Currently, my main assignment is to develop both server side (business logic) and client side (user interface) modules for Agile's distributed PLM system, using C, C++, Corba, Java, XML and ORACLE database systems.
