Born and raised in Graz, Austria. Lived in southwestern Germany (aka “The Länd”) for most of my adult life. Reside and work in Tokyo since 2018. Data Architect in my day job.

Other interests and hobbies include traveling, classic movies, board games, fountain pens and notebooks. I also read a lot - mostly biographies, technical books, comics, books by Finnish authors, and philosophy.
