Software Development and Consulting

Based in Berlin, working anywhere in Europe

Development

I develop software for businesses and non-profit organisations, drawing on experience as professional and volunteer contributor to various projects.


OpenBSD

The OpenBSD project develops a UNIX-like general purpose operating system which is free, functional, and secure.

My areas of contribution include device drivers, IPv6, UTF-8 support, and wireless networking. I port existing software to OpenBSD and develop new OpenBSD-specific software such as Game of Trees.


Apache Software Foundation

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) spans over 130 projects covering a wide range of frameworks and applications enjoying wide use within the industry.

I have been contributing to the widely-used Subversion version control system for over a decade. I have also made contributions to APR, HTTPD, and Serf.


Others

Contributions to Osmocom, git, XFCE, Gnome, e17, Pulseaudio, Python, FreeBSD, freedesktop.org, OTR, ...

Consulting

New project proposals are always welcome! Whether you have a project that fits my existing skill set or will allow me to learn about new areas which I have not explored yet, do not hesitate to get in touch.

My existing clients include non-profit organisations, small and medium businesses, and research institutions. As such, I do not list one-size-fits-all consulting rates on this page. We will arrive at a fair and clear contractual agreement in writing before work on the project begins.

OpenBSD end-user support for setup, configuration, deployment, and maintenance is available on request. I provide hands-on training workshops about OpenBSD pf firewalls. My standard table of contents of detailed training exercises contained in a 2-day pf workshop can be viewed here. I will customise and expand my written training material to meet your requirements and will make all of it available to you under a CC-BY Creative Commons License.

Ich biete OpenBSD Schulung und Support auch auf Deutsch an.

Together with elego I offer support and consulting services for the Subversion version control system.
