I am a Ruby enthusiast currently working for Hitfox in Berlin.
I like dynamic languages in general with a strong focus on Ruby.
Headhunters, don’t bother. No, I do NOT want to be a Java architect for a mid-size company in the middle of nowhere.
I probably would love Python if it wouldn’t force me to write `self` all over the goddamn place.
I really suck at functional programming. I should have paid more attention at university.
NoSQL is worth the hype. Or is it?
I am a big advocate of Behavior Driven Development. Yes, really.
I tried to love node.js, but in the end, it’s still fucking javascript.
I was a devoted SCRUM believer.
I have a deep interest in Erlang but haven’t had a chance to really use it.
I try to contribute as much as possible to open source. Right now
I am the maintainer of the transitions gem, the `reek` gem and the ecircle gem.
Besides that I recently got fascinated with Rubinius and I am trying to
really understand why this works. Furthermore, I have made some rather
petty contributions to Rubinius:

You can find most of the code I write on github –

Sometimes I write down stuff on:
