Studied telecommunications and computer systems. Worked for a PBX manufacturer and currently for a manufacturer of Ethernet switching and telecommunication transmission systems, in the role of embedded software engineer. Along the way I started using what was then called Ethereal, enhancing it and providing bug fixes, which eventually lead to becoming a core developer.
Besides this I like to spend time in the air, either skydiving or flying gliders.
