Andreas Michael Kreuzer

Software Developer (Senior) Andreas Michael Kreuzer IT

Germany

My name is Andreas Michael Kreuzer and I was born in a small town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. My 'coding career' started around 1989 on a CPC 6128. I got involved with coding the first time by actually copying code from books or magazines to the CPC to get computer games running. Also, I started to love mathematics about the same time.

After finishing school and doing my military service I started to study computer science as a major at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. Later on I added also mathematics as a major and finally graduated in both computer science and mathematics. Then - while already working - I participated in an additional program at the German Graduate School of Management and Law in Heilbronn, Germany and got an additional master in business law. Basically, I was fascinated in the fact how much the work of a mathematician and a jurist coincide.

I started to work as a software developer after graduating in Karlsruhe and I am doing this for almost eight years now. After being engaged with different companies I got self-employed and work as a freelancer since beginning of 2016. My main focus is on the C/C++ and C# development.

In my spare time I enjoy jogging, juggling, hiking, and especially spending time with my wife, my little son, and my friends.

I am working as an application developer for last ten years. I am mostly develop applications in ASP.NET. But, also I work in Android and Java.

Currently I am working in a company as a Sr. Application Developer. I have a team of developers and I am playing a role of team leader.

Also, I assist academic projects based on IEEE papers for ME for last ten years.

I believed on a logic development and not on a programming language. I think that, if some one was strong in logic development then he/she can easily develop an application in any programming language.

I am working on tools/domains like, image processing, networking, cloud computing, etc. Out of them, cloud computing is my favorite working domain.

Wolfgang Foerster

Software Developer (Senior)

Germany

I started programming in Basic, Pascal, Fortran and C in the late 1980s during my last semesters at the University of Bonn, Germany, where I studied Physics. As a professional software engineer I moved on to C++ and C# in the field of scientific data acquisition, data analysis and - my favourite - data visualization.

From the very start of my life as developer I have been a fan of graphics, especially 3D graphics. I have been working with OpenGL, XNA and WPF 3D. Planning to start with SharpDX in the near future.

Besides programming I love making music (guitar and violin), doing sports (rock climbing and volleyball) and spending time with my beloved family.
