Professional interest

Beginning of February 2012 I founded my own company called Quantik AG operating in the field of statistical consulting, data analysis and training. For more details visit our website at www.quantik.ch or write an email to us at office@quantik.ch. Let us quantify your uncertainty.

Personal interest

Cooking, motorcycles, reading, parlour games (i.e. Das Schwarze Auge, Warhammer), military strategies and everything concerning Garfield. Since September 2008 my intrests focus on my little daughter Saskia.

I suggest the following books for reading: Barbecue, The Silmarillion, The God Delusion and of course all works by Terry Pratchett, Jim Davis, Joscha Sauer and Holger Aue.
