Jonathan

Hello!

My name is Jonathan Oberländer. I currently work as a software developer for solute, previously I've been at VMRay and DC1.

Outside of professional (paid-for) work, I enjoy esoteric programming languages, Unicode shenanigans, metaprogramming, music, mountaineering, distributional gastronomics, applied galettalogy, card magic, lock picking, and playing board as well as video games, in no particular order.

After graduating high school, I spent a year doing a European Voluntary Service at TES in Βροντάδος, Χίος, Greece. I then did a BSc in Computational Linguistics at Saarland University, followed by the LCT master program, during which I obtained an MSc in Cognitive Science from Trento University, and an MSc in Computer Science from Charles University in Prague.
