I am a web and software developer with quite a few years of professional experience. In addition to that I have an MSc degree in Psychology/Cognitive Sciences. My areas of expertise cover software development as well as cognition, e-learning and knowlege management.

On the software development side of things I currently focus on Ruby on Rails as well as some Java development. Current work Projects are mainly Zend Framework or Wordpress based, but whenever possible I try to work with Ruby/Rails. In my spare time I hack on my possibly-never-released flavor of a rails-like php MVC-Framework that heavily depends on the new class features introduced in php 5.3

At TAO we develop information management systems and provide ruby on rails, wordpress and iphone consulting.

The Dictionary of Old English Plant Names (oepn.uni-graz.at) is an fwf-funded project at the University of Graz.
It aims to create an online dictionary based on the three volume work of Peter Bierbaumer Der botanische Wortschatz des Altenglischen.

At this project I am responsible for ruby on rails software development.

The PharmXplorer project (www.pharmxplorer.at) is a unique pharmaceutical knowledge-base and e-learning environment. It was created by all pharmaceutical departments in Austria and provides heavily networked content covering all areas of pharmaceutical knowledge. It is already used by a large part of the austrian pharmaceutical society and formally integrated into the pharmaceutical curriculum at the University of Graz.

My ongoing work on this platform covers software development as well as cognitive/didactic aspects and evaluation.

I was one half of the head of studio78.at. We provided consulting as well as software development services.
On the consulting side of things our area of expertise was it-security. When software development is concerned, we were focused on web-development using ruby on rails and javascript/xml (Prototype/Scripty, JQuery, Moo, ExtJS ... you name it) but of we also did java, php, c/c++.
