About Me, Myself & I

Hi, I'm Oliver, an Open Source enthusiast and confessed Unix lover:


My fascination for computers started at the age of 10 with a Commodore VIC-20. Two years later I already wrote commercial programs on Atari 800 in 6502-assembler, followed by great times with C on the superb 16-bit Amiga. All this led to studies in theoretical computer science.
In 1994 - during my first semester - I came into contact with Linux, a little later also with *BSD. And I fell in love with the clean and beautiful design of Unix and the openness of code of these implementations. Since that time I am deeply connected with Open Source Unix derivates.


I've worked as consultant, administrator & programmer (system and web), teamlead and trainer for a dozen companies, including Rewe Informationssysteme, Postbank Systems, ORDIX, JCDecaux, some TV Stations and many others. Currently I work for Bechtle as Senior Linux Consultant.


In my private life I am a happy family father, founder and leader of a local Linux- & Unix-usergroup (bluefrogs), like the systemd-free Debian-fork "Devuan" and live with my lovely family in a suburban area of Cologne.

Get in touch with me?

It records this (non-personal) data:

Why no Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn & Co?

Simply because I don't like to give my personal data to companies whose interests mainly consist in making money. They can promise whatever...
I try to keep my private data private.
The only - selected - information about me is here on my site. It is useless to invite me to any social network, as I would silently ignore it.
