Why this site?
I am Tobias Jähnel from germany. I have received two degrees in Computer Science and work as a Software Engineer at Elektrobit, Erlangen.
To be present in the public, especially the OpenSource community, It’s almost mandatory for a Software Engineer to write an own blog. Anyhow It’s not my tention to bring online a website just because everyone else has one.
On this pages I summarize everything about me. On the one hand I want to report about to my friends and acquantances about my activities. On the other hand, people I met at christian events, OpenSource conferences or elsewhere should have a point of reference.
I have often been faced the situation where someone asked me for this or that and I whould have been able to say “have a look at my website”. For this reason I will collect every interesting stuff over the time.
technical? non-technical?
To ease finding the topics one is interested in, I decided to segment my Blog. The non-technical section is all about my private activities like music or work in the parish. This part of my site is available in german only. The technical section is written for experts. It contains information about OpenSource projects, Linux and other computer-related topics.
Software Development
Yet before starting my study at Georg-Simon-Ohm University Nuremberg I concerned myself in computer and software development. Especially Linux administration and web-development was my daily work. I learned diverse programming languages such as PHP and Perl and got familiar with the Unix environment. A few years later I started a freelance job and thus was able to get even more experience.
By now, webdesign went to be a secondary topic for me. During my job I deal with software development in the automotive industry especially diagnosis-protocols and ODX. I’m faced with C and C++, which were the first programming languages I learned.
Since my study I’m interested in software architecture and OpenSource. I lead the OFS project, an offline-filesystem based on FUSE and try to get involved with the OpenSource community as time permits.
Private
I play several instruments and participate in constant as well as spontaneously composed bands.
I’m confident of Jesus Christ giving meaning to my live. For this reason I get involved with christian youth work and play in diverse workshop-groups. Meeting friends and socializing is very important to me and I take much time for that.
