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. I had the most joy when working with MySQL’s date functions. At work we use PHP (and Perl…), but on my own I rather write stuff in Golang.
</p>

<p>
	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.
	<br>
	My girlfriend and I started to do competitive ballroom dancing in international standard. We also dabbled with some Latin dance and Swing on a much lower niveau.
</p>

<p>
	If I have free time I try to explore the world of fine wine and other drinkable stuff. Currently I hold a WSET Level 2 Award in Wine and 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 booze. Why? Because I’m excited by taste and especially 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.
</p>

<p>
	Last but not least I'm interested in food science and food culture in general, not alone wine and booze, but modernist and old school cooking, 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, …and my afternoon.
