I am a Ubuntu developer (core-dev & MOTU) and Debian Developer.

I was born in 1985, live in Berlin, Germany and studied computer engineering at TU Berlin. Apart from being a computer freak I like to play trumpet and cornet. My hand cannot only click on mouse buttons but also can fold small Origami stars. I have been learning to program since I was 10 years old and since then I have touched at least 10 program languages.
