About Me

Hello, that's me!

An introduction

My name is - yes, you already guessed it - Gerrit Hohl. Also I'm working as a software developer for quiet some time now (maybe ~18 years), that passion for programming started a lot earlier.

Programming, projects, etc.

If you interested in my programmer history, please, see the Programming page.

Here I want to show some of the projects I'm currently working on in my spare time. And also some I plan (or I'm interested to do) in the future.

I also offer some tutorials about computer related topics in general as well as programming related topics in particular (see the Cheat Sheets section). I will update those every now and then, so if you want to be kept updates, please, follow me on Twitter 🐦.

Private life

Beside my job and programming in my spare time I also do other things, of course. I'm a fan of going jogging as it gives me some time to think about various things (beside that it helps to keep in shape). And a few times I got the idea of solving a programming problem when jogging.

I'm a volunteer in the local youth work and leading a group there (which I do since I'm 14 or 15). If you're sitting in the front of a computer all day long, 5 days (or more) a week, you definitely need something to balance this in an aspect of communicating with people. Also developers talk a lot more than the stereotype of developers people might have about them. Sometimes you're even happy when there are no project meetings.

Last but not not least I started learning Japanese in 2011 which also takes a lot of my time.
