Hello curious friend, welcome to my little page. Here, you will find a bit about who I am and what I typically do on Wikipedia.

About me
I am 22 years old and am currently studying computer science (minor medicine) at RWTH Aachen University. My roots are in Essen-Borbeck. In my spare time, I like cooking and playing poker and one of my goals is to finally spend more time on sports and reading. Nothing too exotic, that's for sure, but I still like not being booked up.

More information may follow.

Topics I consider important
There are two fields of topics I want you to to be aware of, the first one because it's on my heart and saves lives, and the second one because this is where I typically edit articles in the English Wikipedia:

The Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
During my compulsory civilian service, I worked at one of the donors centers of the university hospitals. Since stem cell (or bone marrow) donations often raise questions as to their safety, my goal is to provide thorough and understandable information on this subject. Maybe this can help a few critically ill people.

Please consider reading the following two articles on this subject:
 * Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
 * National Marrow Donor Program

The Ruhr Area, especially Essen
I consider myself a sort of local patriot. And since I don't want to lose practice, a while ago I started translating sections or whole articles every now and then. Articles to which I have made major contributions can be found in the next section. Searching for good articles on the region to present to you, I realized that there is not much there yet. Seems as if I still have a lot of work to do ^v^

For the time being, if you are interested, you may read these two articles:
 * Ruhr Area
 * Essen

Translations German ↔ English
As I said before, I translate articles from German to English every now and then, especially those dealing with Essen or the Ruhr Area in General.

So far, I have contributed to these articles:
 * Essen (translated and edited whole article; only stylistic corrections by others so far (2009-03-28))
 * Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (started article; only stylistic corrections by others so far (2009-03-28))
 * Essen-Borbeck-Mitte (started article; only stylistic corrections by others so far (2009-03-28))

If you would like to have an article dealing with the Ruhr Area translated from the German Wikipedia, feel free to contact me via my discussion page. I cannot guarantee a speedy translation, but I will do my best.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
As said. Have a nice day :=)
