About Me
Work History
MS EDV Consulting GmbH
Programmer and .NET Developer
Our company is developing a product for Airport Services. We work with .NET (C#) and PostGreSQL and integrate a number of other technologies into our application. I am responsible mostly for the GUI and Database portion of the program, but contribute to most aspects of our work since we are a very small company.
Journalist
I started doing some work for www.baseballaustria.com many years ago, mostly summaries of games. Now I contribute to www.mister-baseball.com regularly and had some work published at www.standard.at.
Summer Intern
Together with full-time employees we developed an Image Recognition Software for saving and storing physical advertisements. The ads were provided in .jpg, or .pdf form from our client, the information was extracted and saved to a database.
Translator
Kays Engineering cooperated with a German Firm and presented their products in Germany. I developed the content of several booklets for these presentations.
Education
B.S., Mathematics and Computer Information Systems
During my four years at College I played on the Baseball team, contributed to the Purple Patch (Campus poetry magazine) and participated in the Mathematics Club.
Skills
English
(Rockstar)10+ Years Experience, (Last Used <1 year ago)
I perfected my english during my various stays in the United States. I speak accent free with advanced vocabulary and enjoy the language particularly.
German
(Rockstar)10+ Years Experience, (Last Used <1 year ago)
German is not my first but my best language. One of my great accomplishments was to graduate Gymnasium (Matura) with a 1 in German, which I thought unlikely because I picked up the language relatively late.
Slovak and Czech
(Advanced)10+ Years Experience, (Last Used <1 year ago)
Slovak is my native tongue, I continue to speak it and while my vocabulary suffers a little my pronounciation and understanding are still fabulous. I learned Czech very early on and speak it with a strong Slovak accent, but my understanding is very good.
Russian

I started learning Russian in 2007 and have progressed to the point that I understand most conversations. My speaking is very limited.
