Until the 17th of March I was full time employed as an intern at Fraunhofer IPSI, Germany. Currently I'm working part-time for another 9 months while also working on my master thesis, which I hope to finish by the end of December.
On the 4th of July 2007 I finally finished my master thesis and from September 2007 I started working full time at Trolltech in Berlin. Unfortunately this meant I didn't have much time for The Mana World anymore. Apart from this I started putting more time into a rewrite of the Tiled map editor using Qt.
 
Today I am a gameplay and user-interface programmer at Blue Byte, Düsseldorf.

I'm a computer scientist who discovered The Mana World in early December 2004. Recognizing in The Mana World the project I had been wanting to work on for about 2 years already, I immediately got into contact with the developers and joined the team as a programmer.

On the 4th of July 2007 I finally finished my master thesis and from September 2007 I started working full time at Trolltech in Berlin. Unfortunately this meant I didn't have much time for The Mana World anymore. Apart from this I started putting more time into a rewrite of the Tiled map editor using Qt.

Today I am a gameplay and user-interface programmer at Blue Byte, Düsseldorf.
