Since March 2008 I work full-time for Google Research in Mountain View, California. Before moving to California (again), I got my Masters degree in computer science from the Berlin Institute of Technology (if you are studying or working there you might be interested in TUBway, a simple refectory menu widget I wrote for the Mac OS X Dashboard).
For the past years my family and I have mainly lived in Berlin, where I studied computer science with a minor in mathematics. In the autumn of 2006 we temporarily moved to California for 10 months, during which I was doing an eight month internship at Google Research, while my wife had been awarded a scholarship at the California College of the Arts.
Below you will find some information about my studies and my work experience. Please contact me for a full resume.
