Andreas Aderhold is a software developer and Unix guy knowing his way around design as well. He has been working with web front- and backend technology since 1995. Andreas is also sick of writing about himself in the third person, so I am going to break with tradition and switch to first person.
I am available for freelance work1.

A bit more about me
I am based in a small german town between Frankfurt and Heidelberg. I love music, photography, listening to vinyl, and going to the movies.
In my private live, I am quite a analogue chap. I enjoy all things that don’t have a display.
Random
I wrote my first program in Borland Pascal on OS/2 (in 1992).
