Nils is an open source aficionado. After a brief passage through the academic world where he researched simulation of distributed systems, he decided to try his luck as an entrepreneur and cofounded Woorank as the CTO. By grabbing millions of data points every day, he developed a passion for automating, scaling and distributing services at scale. In his free time you can find him in the basement tinkering with arduino's, RPi's and the bunch to automate everything he doesn't want to waste time on.
