I am a skilled engineer with excellent analytical abilities, originally in system software/architecture and over time enriched with data analysis and some optical, electrical and mechanical engineering. I often work interdisciplinary and have many years of experience based on a solid education background. I am strongly dedicated to reach my aims by working hard and creatively.
Being active in software development on various systems since the eighties, since 1990 I focus on UNIX/Linux and embedded systems with extensive experience as both systems programmer, user and administrator, including many classic internet services. I like working on design and architecture, and always keep operability in mind. My personal interests in amateur astronomy and scientific imaging caused a professional shift towards interdisciplinary work in many fields. Beside technical tools, I use methods of quality management and communication theory; encourage by visions and gain authority by competence.
I work well by myself and with small teams. I lead efficient meetings, but prefer the structured and efficient ways of communication employed by many free software projects on the web. I dislike traveling and prefer video conferences instead.
I can successfully manage a team, but I really do enjoy working in an expert level position on a project scope that includes software, supporting multiple teams on demand.
I am looking for a consulting engineer position in R&D with possibility of professional growth and most important: Moving technological frontiers.
