Profession, leisure time, etc

Profession?
After graduation from the University of Stuttgart, where I got my Master of Computer Science degree, I started working as a business intelligence / data warehouse developer with the main focus on database-level programming and optimizing (pl/sql on oracle), but also with a focus on BI frontend development with Microstrategy.Currently I hold the position of product manager for business relationship management, leading a team of Siebel CRM developers.

 

Other interests (online)?

Webdesign
I used to be an Advisor at the SitePoint Forums.
The SitePoint Forums are one of the biggest webdesign forums worldwide and “working my way up” from regular member to Mentor to now Advisor has helped me a lot in terms of interest in webdesign.
Although I don’t consider myself a great designer, I try to design my sites as good as possible. The most important thing for me is using standards (hence the XHTML-valid, etc stuff all over the place)!
Online Games
I used to play numerous different online games, I quit most of them though due to time constraints and change of interest.
Planetarion was my first addiction and at a time I was even the HC (High Commander) of a medium sized alliance (Ne Plus Ultra). Nowadays the online online games I play is something like a quick round of yahoo chess.
