About Me

University has made me into a computer scientist with mostly theoretical viewpoints but an interest in practical problem solving. I enjoy teaching, programming and working (or procrastinating) with L^aT_eX, and I try to make the internet a better place for computer scientists.

In the past, I was a junior researcher at the University of Kaiserslautern. Now my pursuits in computer science are purely recreational. Instead I help pushing digitalization in health care by building software at Digithurst/Telepaxx.

After work, I engage in several nerdisms, e. g. reading, music, and all kinds of games. And some more programming. For a healthy balance, I usually cook my own meals, cycle to work, and play ultimate frisbee.

When you send me an email, please consider signing or even encrypting with PGP. You can find my key here. I sign as a matter of principle; if you receive an email that seems to be from me but has not been signed with this key, I am probably not the author.

Data Privacy

These sites were generated statically; there is no user interaction. As such, no visitor data is collected. I also do not use any tracking services. In summary, I do not get any data about you.

Since the website is hosted on Github Pages, the corporate entity Github, Inc. is in principle able to collect metadata such as you visiting this page.

Third parties may track you through Javascript included here. A complete listing of all services linked from these sites follows.

• MathJax via domains cdn.mathjax.org and cdnjs.cloudflare.com.
  Used for rendering mathematics. Probably innocuous.
• Disqus via domains disqus.com and disquscdn.com.
  Provides commenting features; opt-in. They certainly track you as part of the services provided, so be aware when you enable comments.

I recommend using a script blocker like uMatrix to configure exactly which services you want to have included where.

Disclaimer

I deny any responsibility for comments by visitors and content on external sites I link to. You can not prevent others from producing sick things, right?

I am – for better or worse – responsible for these pages here, though. Please contact me if you feel that your personal rights or business plans are violated by the content I provide; I almost surely do not intend to do so. Thank you.

Any opinions I voice on these pages is solely my own.
