I’m a software developer and user experience designer from Melbourne, Australia. I grew up Vienna, Austria.

People sometimes confuse the two, I’m cool with that. One day I would like to live in Europe again.

Currently I’m working for Clear Interactive in Melbourne. We’re building software for the web and iPhone. Compared with the Bachelor of Computer Science (Software Engineering) that I completed in 2007 with distinctions, it’s refreshing.

If you want to talk shop you can find me hanging out with the Melbourne Ruby Users Group or the Melbourne Cocoaheads (which I founded in July 2007).

When the planets align correctly I like to try my hand at surfing on the weekends (I suck, if you’re wondering). Otherwise I’ll be hiding behind a camera lens somewhere. Be sure to say hi if you spot me.

Perhaps you would prefer to stalk me on the internet?
