Born in Poland to polish parents but German grandparents
at 11 fled to Germany one month before the Berlin wall fell
at 23 a girl in Sweden on ICQ uses its random function, we marry and I move to Sweden
we divorce I stay in Sweden go to University at 30, everyone else is 22
I graduate and work in automobile industry
during covid I go on a 3 month business trip to korea and install tinder, because why not?
I meet someone there, she is the CFO of a mid size company so I move to Korea
at 45 I become a father and we marry

In between there are many more random thing, I play in a ska band and in a metal band, I brew beer, I make sausages, I help creating a free and open source conference, totally drunk I try cocaine which only makes me sober, I program a small game, I go to Hebron in Palestine and record a podcast, etc.

Yes I do, but now most of my work is with people in Europe, mostly Germany and Ukraine.
