I’m a multimedia software engineer specializing in Apple platforms—and, in parallel, a medical doctor working in intensive care and emergency medicine.
“Working on VLC since before you were born,” my manager once said. It’s true: VLC has been part of my life for over 20 years. My main focus has been macOS, including major interface rewrites for the 2.0 and 4.0 releases. In 2013, I rebuilt the iOS port from scratch, later helped launch the tvOS version, and initiated the visionOS and watchOS ports in 2024. All apps are built on VLCKit, which is also available to third-party applications.
Technically, I work end-to-end: from low-level audio and media rendering all the way up to user interfaces across Apple platforms.
Outside of software, I work as a physician at a university hospital in southern Germany, with a medical degree from Göttingen University (class of 2015). I’m a specialist in internal medicine with additional training in emergency medicine, intensive care and cardiology.
After time as a full-time employee, I now consult for VideoLabs while running my own one-person company, providing development and advisory services around multimedia software on Apple platforms and beyond.
