Who am I?
The most classic philosophical question of all time: who am I?
Well, I'm an avid computer-freak, specifically interested in CPU architectures, low-level software (firmware, operating systems, ...) and Open-Source solutions.
My hobbies include tinkering with electronics, programming multimedia demonstrations (demos), everything about linux/unix, reading science fiction novels, learning about ancient cultures, going for a movie with friends, writing electronic music compositions, philosophy, quantum-physics, toying with my commodore 64 and swimming or cycling if time allows me.
I consider myself as an open-minded individual who's always looking for new challenges. People see me as a very creative and imaginative person.
My primary goal in life is learning and therefore I try to stay alert of the newest developments in the aforementioned fields.

Work related.
My favorite jobs are those in which I can do some operating system's related programming, mostly on embedded systems with limited resources.
Notable accomplishments:
- I designed a hard real-time operating system (6us response time) for a security board that had to reach FIPS 140-1 Level 3 security properties.
- Ported Linux to a custom Xilinx FPGA PowerPC softcore.
- Developed Infiniband-based cached storage SAN drivers for Xen & Linux for deployment in datacenters. (speed of 900MB/s could be reached - yes, that's megabytes!)
- Ported Linux to the Freescale i.MX31 SoC for vehicle boardcomputer with touchscreen lcd, audio, CAN, USB, ...
- Designed an architecture to deploy an embedded Linux platform (kernel, libraries and applications) on 3 different CPU's (ARM, PPC & x86) all having the same codebase.
