Professionally I am a PhD.-Candidate in electrical engineering in the field of formal verification. At least that`s what is written on the forms. I am rarely passionate about things, in contrary about how a Thing gets made, how it works and what a Thing can do. And, of course, how to break a Thing. I also cook, occasionally sell band merchandise, (poorly) perform balcony Bonsai gardening, and have strong political opinions rooted in the application of common sense and the knowledge that (most) people are awful onto any system created by man. Catchphrases: Everything has a reason. It doesn`t need to be a good reason. (on almost anything) and Onward! For Glory! (for about any task undertaken) ©
