+:title: About
+:status: published
+
+I'm 25 years old and live near Munich, Germany. The last years, I was mostly
+busy studying mechanical engineering with the main focus on robotics and
+medical engineering.
+
+I'm a free software advocate and I'm convinced that the freedom of our
+computing is an essential part of a free society. I also just very much enjoy
+using free software and working with others to improve it. I have an interest in
+encryption and privacy/security issues. Additionally, I think that the
+internet should be decentralized to ensure control over our own data.
+In order to improve the situation, I try to host all the services I need on my
+own servers and also provide them to family and friends. 
+
+Photography and Filming is another passion of mine, including the post-processing
+part. I like to do sports, too. Nowadays, I just try to stay fit, but I was an
+avid 400m sprinter for some years and competed in various track and field events.  
+
+Besides all of this, I like to watch good or silly movies, preferably in English
+to improve my skills in that language.
+In the past, I was reading a lot of books and every National Geographic issue from
+the first to the last page. These days, due to the lack of time and because National
+Geographic is now part of the Murdoch empire, I mainly resorted to keeping up with
+current news, reading political commentary and following various blogs.
