… me, Martin Hilscher born 1980 in Berlin and after much moving around, now living in Hamburg, Germany. I studied computer science and philosophy at Carl von Ossietzky University and subsequently worked as a research assistant and PhD candidate in computer science. In 2016 I "switched sides" and and became a developer and system architect at Jungen Haie GmbH.

Besides that I co-founded a hackerspace, worked on various open source projects, am an avid hobby cook, make some electronic music and was an advisor in a working group on new and social media at the office of family and social services and many many things more. For all those activities this site shall bare document, … if I find the time to write it all out.

Résumé

Superpowers

  • Programming – basically every programming paradigm and language, and yes that includes function programming with a dependent type system in Idris and Agda as well as throwing things together in PHP. Admittedly I enjoy the former much more than the later.
  • Software Architecture – especially of large complex and distributed systems like microservice landscapes.
  • Research – foremost parallel and distributed systems, logic and autonomous vehicles.
  • First Aid – If been working as an EMT for about 6 years besides school and university.
  • Electronic music production – Besides working as an EMT I have worked as a DJ and Liveact, primarily Techno.
  • Modeling, formal verification and synthesis of programs, and systems.
  • Martial Arts – I'm a black belt in 3 martial arts (Judo, Aikido, and Karate) and did train in Jeet Kune Do and Krav Maga for almost 19 years. And I am an approved instructor in all of the above.
  • Severe boredom – even just from repeating some project once. Most of the times leads to me writing a abstraction, lib or framework.
  • Dissatisfaction with the status quo – in about every regard.
