- I am a software engineer working on Google Cloud Platform in the Google office in Kitchener-Waterloo.
- From May 2019 to December 2019, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, working with Jeffrey Shallit. From August 2015 to April 2019, I was a research assistant in the Institute for Formal Methods in Computer Science at the University of Stuttgart, working on automata theory, formal languages, semigroup theory, algorithms, computational complexity and formal verification. A list of my publications can be found here and on DBLP.
- I am an Arch Linux Trusted User and Developer, and I actively contribute to several other open source projects. Please scroll down for a (not necessarily complete) list.
- Outside computer science, I am interested in all aspects of technology, investing, entrepreneurship, sustainability, health, and fitness.
- Countries/regions I have visited in the past include Australia, Austria, Canada, Cape Verde, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia (Bali), Italy, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

- I was born on March 6th, 1990 in Bietigheim-Bissingen. I currently live in Waterloo, ON.

Arch Linux
As an Arch Linux Trusted User and Developer, I am leading the development of the Arch User Repository web interface and maintaining the Arch Linux projects page as well as roughly 150 packages.
I am the author of aurdupes, a Python script that can be used to find duplicate packages in pacman databases and the Arch User Repository.
calcurse
I am the current maintainer of calcurse, a powerful command-line based calendar program.
jpeg-archive
In late 2017, I started co-maintaining jpeg-archive, a utility to compress JPEG images for long-term storage without sacrificing perceived visual quality.
Deprecated Projects
cdlib-eject was a lightweight C program to control Dacal CD Library II devices. It is no longer maintained.
Open Source Contributions
I occasionally contribute to other projects. Projects I have contributed to in the past include
- alot, a terminal-based mail user agent,
- arch-audit, an utility like pkg-audit for Arch Linux,
- GNU automake, a tool to automate parts of the compilation process,
- cgit, a hyperfast web frontend for Git repositories written in C,
- OpenSMTPD spam filter integration,
- the version control system Git,
- libfaketime, a library that can be used to modify the system time for a single application,
- the package manager pacman,
- the password manager pass,
- pygit2, which provides Python bindings for libgit2, and
- xwax, an open-source Digital Vinyl System for Linux.
