Hi there! My name is Martin, I am located in Aachen (Germany) and I enjoy web-development and electronics.

That's me!

Born in Aachen in 1991, I have spent my time in this beautiful city ever since, located at the western border of Germany, just a stone's throw away from Belgium and the Netherlands.

Currently I'm studying computer sciences at RWTH Aachen University in my second semester. Furthermore, I'm a Software Engineering Intern at Google in Mountain View, California during the Summer of 2012. Before that, I went to the Kaiser-Karls-Gymnasium Aachen and got the "Abitur" with advanced courses in mathematics and computer sciences.

Besides of that, I have been working as a freelancing web-developer since about two years. Actually, my first customer was the school I attended at that point of time. The school built a new canteen and looked for an easy way of organizing the food orders that went to the caterer. What I did was writing a web-application with which the pupils could order the food they wanted completely by themselves with just two clicks. The app is still running today while thousands of meals have been served successfully.

me on the web

Google+

Since its launch, Google+ has become the social network of my choice. Be sure to add me to one of your circles if you want to get in touch with me.

Flickr

Occasionally (mainly when on vacation) I take photographs of the world we live in. You can find these pictures in my Flickr profile.

StackOverflow

One of my favorite activities while procrastinating is heading over to StackOverflow and helping others by answering their questions about programming.

GitHub

Recently I've started to publish my personal software projects on GitHub so that everyone can keep track of changes easily and participate in making them even better.
