I’m the founder and managing director of Uberblic Labs, a company based in Berlin specialized in Linked Data integration. Previously I worked as a research associate in the Web-based Systems Group at Freie Universität Berlin and as a visiting researcher at Hewlett Packard Labs Bristol. As co-founder and former lead developer of DBpedia, I was also a day-one contributor to the Linking Open Data project. I organize the Web of Data Meetup London, a bi-yearly gathering of the UK Linked Data community. I graduated with a Diplom in business administration from Freie Universität Berlin and have many years of work experience as a software developer.
