Organizer of the [otsconf Dortmund](https://otsconf.com/), coach at [OpenTechSchool Dortmund](http://www.opentechschool.org/dortmund/), contributor to [Redis](http://redis.io) and maintainer of several client libraries.
* [rdb-rs](http://rdb.fnordig.de/) - fast and efficient RDB parsing utility, including full documentation on the RDB file format
* [hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis) - the minimalistic C client for Redis, as well as wrapper libraries: [hiredis-rb](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-rb/) ([gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/hiredis)), [hiredis-node](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-node) ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hiredis)), [hiredis-py](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-py) ([pypi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hiredis/))
* **Rust for Rubyists** - FrOSCon, RedFrogConf, 24.08.2014 - this was a bit spontaneous and prepared in only one day. Mostly the content from [first experience with Rust](/2014/08/12/first-experience-with-rust/). I also gave this talk two months later at the Barcamp Salzburg (again, totally spontaneous to fill a gap in the schedule). ([Slides](https://fnordig.de/talks/2014/froscon/rust-for-rubyists/), [PDF](https://fnordig.de/talks/2014/froscon/rust-for-rubyists/froscon2014-redfrogconf-rust-for-rubyists.pdf))
* **Introduction to Redis** - OpenTechSchool Dortmund, 16.12.2014 - these slides are actually extracted from the _real slides_, which were built in [try.redis.io](http://try.redis.io). ([Slides](http://fnordig.de/talks/2014/ots/redis-introduction-otsdo-2014-12-16.pdf))
