So many people follow me here, but I've never really written a proper #introduction. Time to change that!

Hey there, I'm Chris, but most friends call me 'muesli'. I'm a geek, a software developer, a maker, an opensource advocate and a tech enthusiast. I love programming and tinkering with things. I started almost three decades ago with Basic, and have learned & used Pascal, Assembly, C, C++, Java, PHP, JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, and Lua (pretty much in that order) over all these years.

I have been or still am contributing to KDE, VLC, Qt, Amarok, Transmission, Docker, Tomahawk, PHP & probably several dozen other open source projects. I've founded a startup or two and used to work at Last.fm & Nokia. I enjoy the silence & calm of the night and it's where I become the most productive.

I was born in Germany, but have moved to and lived in several other countries since. I'm only really fluent in German and English, but also understand a bit of French, Dutch and Latin.

If I'm not listening to an audiobook or stream, it takes me way too long to fall asleep at night. I suck at multi-tasking & planning ahead. I used to cultivate carnivorous plants as a kid and am still fascinated by them today. I grew up near the mountains but feel at home by the sea. I competitively played tennis, table-tennis, and football (soccer) as a teenager.

I can't play an instrument and I can't draw or paint, but I admire the arts and artists.

I love and collect Lego sets, board- & video games alike. I can't stand losing when I play games, but friends never considered me a bad loser.

I try to actively learn and memorize something new every single day of my life. Often I fail, but I'll never stop trying.

Never hesitate to say hello! ๐Ÿ˜Š
