About Me

I am a meteorologist and computational scientists with a strong drive to design and develop modern software tools in and around the topic of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and I always look for new and exciting learning opportunities. I have a M.Sc. in meteorology with excellent grades and more than a decade of experience in the field of turbulence resolving CFD (Large-Eddy Simulation). Coming from a high performance and parallel computing background (working with python, C, Fortran, MPI, OpenMP etc.) I have many years of working-experience using state of the art supercomputers and I am always keen to contribute to software performance optimization by improving parallelization and by porting code to GPUs and other architectures. Python is my primary language I use every day. Annoyed by unreliable software in the past, I strongly embrace automatic software testing, continuous integration and continuous deployment. Tools like GitLab, Kubernetes, Flux, Ansible, etc. are part of my DevOps Tool-Belt and occasionally I build front-ends using vuejs etc. I currently run a Start-Up called pecanode together with two Co-Founders.
