I don't like to retire and tell people who ask me that I spent my time making it possible for people to share more cat pictures. I would love to work on something a bit more meaningful. My goal with the master's was to end up in a multidisciplinary team where I could support scientists.

Currently in the process of getting a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering (mostly doing image analysis, coming from a Bachelor in Computer Science) and looking for a new challenge. Besides the two degrees I have worked for 2 years on web applications and web security development and have a four year apprenticeship (large scale Java web application) under my belt.

Or of course you could offer me good working conditions, a mentor and some time/money for conferences and other educational things, that would work, too.

I have extensive experience in large scale Java web applications from my four year apprenticeship in a big international bank. But I also have worked with Ruby on Rails and Javascript. In my free time I like to investigate new approaches to developing web applications. For example I am currently testing the waters with ClojureScript and Om, where I am trying to visualize herd immunity with WebGL.

So if you are looking for someone who likes to push the boundaries, doesn't accept "acceptable" as a solution and loves to learn new things (not just programming related!) then you should drop me a line so we can talk.

The only relocation restriction is that I want to continue working on planet Earth.
