Hi, I am Hannes.

About me

I am a Pythonista at and co-founder of the start-up renooble.com. Coding 8-5 at CrowdStreet.com. Besides that I am interested in various open source projects and developments. Lately, I am spending my development time between Python, and js frameworks, such as AngularJS and ember.js and data science (espcially around machine learning.
Living in Oregon, I am enjoying coffee, food, wine, beer, an amazing tech scene and a million meetups each week.
