OpenStreetMap
I have been a long-time contributor to the OpenStreetMap project since 2011. These are the services I provide for the community:
- BBBike extracts service: allows you to extract areas from planet.osm in OSM, PBF, Garmin, OsmAnd, Mapsforge, MBTiles, PMTiles, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, SVG or Esri Shapefile formats.
- BBBike: is a route planner for cyclists in Berlin. It has since been ported to other cities around the world – thanks to the OpenStreetMap project.
- Map Compare: shows different maps from OpenStreetMap, Google, Bing, Esri, HERE, and others side by side – more than 300 maps in total.
- tagname search: a full-text search across more than 157 million name, note, and description tags in OpenStreetMap by words, substrings, phrases, regular expressions, or best match.
BSD
I'm a FreeBSD developer and a
member of the www.FreeBSD.org webmaster team.
I also maintain the FreeBSD Manual Pages Archive
– the largest and oldest collection of manual pages on the internet.
Libraries
I studied Computer Science at the Technische Universität Berlin. As part of my diploma thesis, I wrote a federated search engine for German university libraries called ZACK Gateway.
