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).
Below you will find some information about my studies and my work experience. Please contact me for a full resume.

Misc
In the middle of 2009 I started flying paragliders instructed by Wally Anderson (an amazing instructor and pilot) and recently obtained my USHPA P2 rating.
Below is a video of one of my first higher altitude flights from a 3200ft launch site to the beautiful pacific coast in Big Sur, California.
Another beautiful flying site in the area is Mussel Rock, also known as The Dumps, in northern Pacifica, California. It's a coastal soaring site and on a good day one can launch close to the beach and stay aloft for hours. The video is a short excerpt from a recent, over an hour long flight there.
