I guide the next generation of geeks
on their way to becoming professional web developers.
I am a senior lecturer at salzburg university of applied sciences. I teach web development (Javascript, Ruby on Rails, Postgres, git, Test Driven Development) hire external lecturers and develop the curriculum.
I am always looking for Lecturers and Students and right now even for someone to join the faculty!
MultiMediaTechnology is a Bachelor and Masters program that I co-created.
I'm very proud of the fact that we use current technologies to teach the important concepts of CS. In my department - web & mobile development - we use Ruby on Rails, git, scrum, test driven development and a lot of JavaScript.
You can read more about the program in our blog, see the students work in our portfolio, or be a part of it once a semester at our barcamp 'the next web'.
Like everybody, I profit from the open source movement: I use Linux and Apache, Ruby and Perl, Wikipedia and Open Street Maps daily.
I try to contribution to the commons: as an author on open street map, and by publishing my teaching materials under a creative commons license.
My german language textbook on web development, covering HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP has been online and updated regularly for 10 years now. You can fork it on github. The same goes for my notes on backend development with Ruby on Rails in english.
I'm a woman in computer science, I enjoy it very much, I try to encourage other women to enter this field.
Whenever I get a chance I volounteer at Rails Bridge, Rails Girls and simliar events that offer a low-barrier-of-entry setting.
Since 1999 I'm a participant of informatica feminale, a summer university for women in computer science held annually at Bremen University.
In 2002 we founded a similar summer university in Salzburg: ditact. Here I am a lecturer, a member of the board, and the programmer of the web-application (in ruby on rails).
For more projects of this kind see the Geek Feminism Wiki.
I'm an amateur singer in a big choir: Mozartchor Salzburg We are about 70 singers, we sing big classical pieces about twice a year: Carmina Burana, Mozarts Requiem, Brahms's Requiem, ...
In 2020 I was elected to be the chair woman of the Works Council/Betriebsrat of my university. In this capacity I am also on the Supervisory Board
HOSI is Salzburgs LGBT non-profit association. When it comes to LGBT rights and public acceptance Austria is lagging behind the rest of the EU.
