I'm the Founder and CEO of Techmap.io - the workplace search engine that helps developers, students and freelancers to find companies using specific technologies in their region and apply for a new job.

Previously I was a Co-Founder and former CTO of Talentwunder where I was responsible for driving the company’s technology vision. Furthermore, I freelanced as a software engineer in Germany in the IT sector and am interested in the startup scene, building lean startups, developing new interesting software, and conducting academic research.

From my research career I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Hildesheim and have authored over forty articles for journals and conferences, most of them on software engineering, semantic technologies, knowledge management, and data mining.
