[edit] Background

Presently employed as a software engineer specializing in scientific and engineering applications, I code primarily C++ and Perl under Linux.

On the natural language front, I've passed the Goethe-Institute's Zentrale Mittelstufenprüfung at CEFR level C1. This is something which I hope and trust not too many native U.S. English speaking engineers have taken the trouble to accomplish.

I've also studied French for a couple of years, but never acquired much proficiency with it. Some day I'd like to master that language.
