I program #SpringBoot web services and have now managed to avoid managing people. I used to program dev tools & before that, program mobile phones.

Once ran the same early Windows 8 build instance on both a hypervisor and native boot.

Old enough to remember #Symbian #C++.

I really like painting miniature figures like those produced for #warhammer, but am not so keen on #GamesWorkshop.

#OnePageRules is my current #TableTop #Wargaming jam.

Involved in some kind of computer bullshit.

I dabble. Mostly in trains - H0 scale and live steam. Sometimes in games. Professionally in tech. German living on Yuggera land in Australia. I post and repost in English and German. Trans rights are human rights.
