about me
I've studied Media Technology and Design at the FH Hagenberg (AT), worked for the Ars Electronica Futurelab (Linz / AT), NVISION Studio (part of The Interactive Institute in Sweden) and Utani Social Lab (Barcelona, ES) as a Engineer/Researcher.
I am a professional when it comes to developing real-time, interactive entertainment or simulation software. I have experience in new media art projects (interactive installations, performances, visualizations), in (academic) research and video game development.
I am a founding member of the artistic collective "the guinea pig collective"!
I have been living in Barcelona since 2008 pursuing my own projects and projects as a freelancer.
Currently I'm looking for new opportunities ... !
