A former coder, Linux geek since 1997 and science fiction novelist. While I am experienced with C++ and a bit of Python, most of the code I write nowadays starts with #!/bin/sh.
I am from Bochum in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, a city of culture and knowledge. My first novel, ASKENDUM, has been published in April 2014 under the part-pseudonym Deon R. Murczak.

My second novel, a truly enormous and whimsical universe ruled by a crazed artificial intelligence, has been in preparation since 2016. I wrote a rough draft in late 2020/early 2021 but then decided to undertake an interim project first. That novel conveys a simpler and more straightforward story revolving about people who lost their memory to an illness, and seek revenge thereupon.

To help other writers of fiction I have created a calculation spreadsheet that is compatible with several office suites.
I am also running a Syncthing relay server on a Raspberry Pi 4 so I wrote a top for it.
As an anime fan I could not help myself but to create a script toolchain for re-muxing the good stuff. Everything in Unix sh.
If you would like to message me privately you can do so on Reddit. I also have a Twitter feed and a Discord server.
