Hi, I live in Dresden (Saxony, Germany) - http://www.dresden-tourist.de/eng/homepage.html .

Currently I am employed as consultant at Synspace (http://www.synspace.com). Our company offers SoftwareAssessments? according to SPiCE (ISO15504), CMM and BOOTSTRAP methods. We also provide engineering support with RequirementsManagement, ConfigurationManagement, Testing and QualityManagement?.

I studied computer science at Dresden University of Technology. Later I joined a local software company. There I worked as software developer and later team leader in a SW-project for the Saxon Government. We mainly programmed client/server applications using Sybase PowerBuilder, VisualC++ and OracleDeveloper? based on Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle RDBMS.

My primary professional interests cover:

• SoftwareDevelopment (including AgileSoftwareDevelopment like XP, Crystal; Testing Issues)
• SoftwareQuality? (ISO9000, SPiCE, CMM)

• Roleplaying games (Dragonlance, Greyhawk, FengShui)
• excessive Videogaming (mostly RPGs and TurnBasedStrategy?) on lots of more or less old videoconsoles
• playing with or getting convinced to play with our two big, nasty, yet unbelievable cuddly MaineCoonCats? Desdemona and Diabolo (sic!)
