I am a German Software Solutions Architect living in New Zealand, who is specialized in Adobe's enterprise and rich client technologies ColdFusion, Flex, Flash, Connect and LiveCycle. I've put another focus on the integration of the latter with 3rd party platforms such as Java and .NET. I spend most of my work time contributing to projects of various clients and sizes, fulfilling the role of an architect, senior developer, consultant, mentor or instructor.

Besides that I contribute to various European IT print and online magazines such as i'X, Internet Professionell, Java Magazin, Visual X.
I've recently started a company providing professional services such as consulting, development and training: Ventego Creative Ltd.
