About This Page

This is actually my fifth attempt at designing this site. The first one was very simple — I basically made some strokes in Photoshop and put them around my cirriculum vitæ (I'm a programmer not a designer, Jim!), but I got sick of it after a while. The second one didn't have any design, just some pictures, and got some very bad feedback. Since I'm not really good at all that, for my third version, I used a free premade design, and stuck my text in here (since the old design didn't have any, I had to become very creative anyways). The forth version was an attempt to create a web page that doesn't look like it's using a premade design :), but unfortunately didn't look quite good enough, so Dietmar Kerschner did the design for this version (I wrote the HTML/CSS for it, though).

Me

I was born in 1981 in Vienna, Austria. My mother is a bookseller, I'm her only child. I was raised in rather poor conditions, but it got much better over time.

Life On a Scale

1988-2001: School

After some very hard years at some schools I'd rather disremember, I attended HTL Donaustadt starting 1996, in the technical computer sciences branch (which doesn't exist any more, as far as I know).

Very early, I got an addiction that I couldn't get rid of ever since: Computers. I started programming shortly after I learned reading and writing, and I still haven't stopped being fascinated by it as of today.

2001-2002: Duty For The State

Since I despise the military, I attended community service instead (12 months at Lebenshilfe Wien), where I spent my time with some very nice people.

My first commercial programming projects (very small-scale, though) started shortly before leaving school.

2002-Jan 2006: Bachelor's degree

After spending years with CS teachers that couldn't keep up with my knowledge in programming, I finally found the right place: The Vienna University of Technology. I studied Software & Information Engineering and finished by Bachelor's degree on January 31, 2006.

Mar 2006-now: Master's degree

Since this wasn't enough, I moved over to Computer Graphic & Digital Image Processing.
