Hello there, traveler of the Internet: Welcome to my web home!

I'm a software researcher, working at SAP Labs, Inc. in Palo Alto, the heart of the Silicon Valley. I've worked in software research, development, and business, for large corporations and startups alike. Before starting at SAP in August 2006, I was the co-founder and chief scientist of Bayave Software, an on-demand business software startup in Berlin, Germany.

Most of my research these days focusses on open source, both in qualitative as well as in quantitative terms. This research ties together computer science, economics, and business research. Before focussing on open source, I've worked in software engineering research, focussing on object-oriented frameworks, architecture, and patterns. I'm the main architect of the first UML virtual machine. Please see my publication list.

In 2000, I finished my Ph.D. in computer science at ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and a leading engineering school in Europe. In 2004, I finished my MBA at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, with a focus on high-tech strategy and entrepreneurship.
