	<h1>About Me</h1>
<p>
Hi!

I study computer science in Berlin and work at my university’s data center. There I’m currently focusing on traditional database technology, including modern SQL, database applications and porting software from MySQL or Sybase to PostgreSQL. My favourite part is complaining over MySQL’s date functions. At work we use PHP, but on my own I rather write stuff in Golang.

	I play the piano since I’m 7 years old. Not so long ago I began taking lessons in classical singing and participated since in different choirs. Some of our performances included the "Elias" by Mendelssohn, "Petite messe solennelle" by Rossini, "Ein deutsches Requiem" by Brahms and the Symphony No. 8 by Mahler.

	My girlfriend and I started to do competitive ballroom dancing. We also dabbled with some Latin dance and Swing on a much lower niveau.

	Another hobby I’m celebrating is good liquor. I’m the author of <a href="https://www.fuselkoenig.de" title="Fuselkönig - Supermarkt-Spirituosen im Test">Fuselkönig.de</a>, a blog about spirits. Yeah, you read that right, I blog about alcohol. Why? Because I’m excited by fragrances since I’m young and, honestly, perfume does not taste as good. If you visit Germany, maybe you should check out the blog to know which bottle you should grab and which you better leave on the shelf. It’s in German, but Google Translator should do.

	Last but not least I'm interested in molecular gastronomy (reading books like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Food_and_Cooking" title="On Food and Cooking">this famous one</a> by Harold McGee), chinese or japanese tea (everything <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_sinensis" title="Also known as tea plant">Camellia sinensis</a>) and of course fresh grinded coffee to start my day, currently using a Baratza Encore and the AeroPress.
