I, student

Or what I am currently doing anyway

  • Scale Model Database

    An online scale model database (SMDb) I created for Christian Grottendieck.

  • Push-Relabel Algorithm

    A university paper on the push-relabel algorithm I wrote together with Jan Musmann.

  • Bang Bang

    An interactive music visualization written together with Christopher Getschmann and Jan Musmann for a university course called “Grundlagen der Gestaltung”

  • Travian Games Answers

    The Answers family is a self service tool to enable the players to easily and quickly look up information about a game.

I am a 23 year old male from Lingen, Germany. Until the end of April 2010 I was am doing my “compulsory paid community service” at the local nursery school (it’s quite okay actually assuming one can ignore the low payment). I was also an employee of Travian Games GmbH until the end of September 2010.

I administrated Travian.com for over 2 years for them.
Additionally I was also greatly involved in and responsible for training new Administrators for various Travian language versions. During that time I developed (in collaboration with others) extensive documentations, guidelines and manuals.
In the end I was responsible for the CustomerSelfService (i.e. the Answers Family: Wewaii Answers, Remanum Answers, Travians Answers).
There also are the orphaned/phased out Travian FAQ (a side project while I was administrator for Travian.com) and still active IRC Portal. Sadly I never came round to update them properly before terminating my contract.

Additionally I am helping out the guys at Conceited Software as Community Liaison. Blog Posts, talking to the people on IRC and prodding the devs with large and pointy sticks if there is something I believe they should take care of or take a look at.

At the moment I am a media informatics student at the Universität Ulm.
