Life

Now

  • Homeowner (since 2022): A second-hand house keeps idle hands busy. And the garden? It never sleeps.
  • Gym life: Weightlifting is an office worker’s best defense against back pain.
  • Cats: A clowder with complicated histories — behavioral management meets daily cuteness overload.
  • Centipedes: Misunderstood creatures that deserve more love than they get.
  • Reading: Reading is like weightlifting - but for the mind!
  • Code: The less I code at work, the more I tinker in my free time.

Pets

  • Cats: Lifelong feline companion. Currently serving four furry overlords — the latest joined us as a stray when we bought our house.
  • Centipedes: Keeping and studying these fascinating arthropods since the mid-2000s (with a short break).
  • Previously: Roaches, snakes, a chameleon, spiders, mice — a miniature zoo over the years.

Music

  • Elektronische Körpermusik (2022–2023): Editorial work for a book about EBM.
  • Ius Talionis (2018–2024): Bass duties in a contemporary black metal band.
