Hi All,

TechOps is happy to announce Christian Aistleitner has joined us as a consultant/contractor. Christian, who is based in Linz, Austria, will work towards hardening the XML dump infrastructure.

Though he just completed his PhD in 2011, he has been doing programming since his teenage years., and started working in 2001. His career revolves around free software integration, making software maintainable, and tracking down and fixing the ever hiding bugs.

He is a self-confessed code reading junkie, feeding on twisted, obscure code. And this passion for the obscure is not limited to programming languages, but also translates to spoken languages, as he is keen on Esperanto.

Finally, when not working or at home, you can often find Christian in playgrounds where there are swing and see-saws.

Please join me in welcoming Chris and you can reach him on IRC (his nick is qchris).

Thanks, CT Woo
