Bernd will be working remotely from Fort Collins, CO, where he has lived ever since emigrating from Germany many years ago.
He joins the Wikimedia Foundation after developing software at HP in Germany and the US for many years. He's worked on both front-end and back-end components, developing applications for enterprise management software as well as consumer software (HP MediaSmart Server, WebOS related work, and a couple of Android apps).
Bernd is very passionate about user experience and Android. He is excited to contribute to open source projects. When not developing Android apps, he also enjoys learning about some of the latest web technologies, currently favoring Meteor.js. Afk he enjoys playing volleyball, ultimate frisbee and soccer.
Bernd will join the Apps team working closely with Yuvi and Dmitry on the rebooted native Android Wikipedia app.
Please Welcome Bernd
