npw.net imprint

In a nutstell: I'm a software guy with a phd in computer science and robotics (dnb, upress, Amazon). I love my family, hiking, gardening, hacking, and finding ways around cloud solutions for things that should not at all be exposed to the hostility of the net (like, for example, "smart" home solutions).

Back in the days, around 1995, a friend and I had operated a ''Bulletin Board System'' (EXCESS BBS, NetzProjekt Weingarten) and a local FidoNet hub. Around that time, the Internet started gaining tracktion for a wider public. npw.net in its current form as a communication service was born in 1997.

Between 1999 and 2010 I was a member of and active contributor to the RoboCup community (The Ulm Sparrows, Carpe Noctem Cassel).

In 2012, I traded academia for the medical device industry. My focus area is DevSecOps, ranging from IT infrastructure to product vulnerability management. And software development. Back to the roots, basically.
