As I see all the people who are #newHere and #neuhier introduce themselves, I think it is time for me to do so too.
I'll do that in English for wider reach but as you can probably infer from my recent interactions with the (currently) biggest part of my bubble my first language is German.
I'm a doctor working in a hygiene department in a big hospital and my job is doing, teaching and researching infection prevention and control and hospital epidemiology.
While I cover the whole field that is typically covered by hospital hygiene (Krankenhaushygiene) in Germany which roughly translates to infection prevention and control (IPC) in the international context, my special interest is IPC and the epidemiology of hospital-acquired infections in preterm neonates.
I'm the scientific coordinator of the German #NEO_KISS (https://www.nrz-hygiene.de/KISS-Modul/KISS/NEO) and leading the MEASURE work package of #NeoIPC (https://neoipc.org/).

More than 25 years ago, even before starting to study medicine, I started to learn the details about the computers and software I'm using and how to build things and solve problems myself.
I have never stopped, which means that I've tried quite a few things and solved quite a few problems with computers until now.
Although I mostly work on the classical Microsoft stack, I'm a big Open Source enthusiast and I don't get lost if you put me in front of some Unix machine.

I'm mostly writing code in C# but can read and write quite a few other languages.
My probably biggest contribution to the Open Source software community is being a part of the small team maintaining #Npgsql, the #dotNET data provider for #PostgreSQL.
