During my studies of Physics I discovered my love and dedication for Apple Computers. I finished my studies at University without degree and took work at Hermstedt AG, Mannheim which were famous for their Macintosh DSL and ISDN equipment. At this company I was the main developer for ISDN Webshuttle.
When Hermstedt went insolvent I took measure for completing my knowledge by reading a lot of computational literature to become expert in Linux. My main stress was set to Linux Server, mainly SuSE with Email Server, Web Server, Directory Services, Databases, further C++ Development but also Web Development in HTML and Java Script.
5 years later, when labor market boomed, I got a job at Pro2col Limited where I was developing StingRay - a former Hermstedt product - based on Linux, but together with Macintosh Stingray Client.
I hold this position to the very last - when Pro2col germany ceased to exist - they closed there office and I hold another 1/2 year in my living room together with our apprentice repairing StingRays. When our apprentice finished apprenticeship I terminated.
