**Introduction / main QGIS related activities:**
I am a scientist, open source GIS advocate, and author.
My background is in computer science with a specialization in geographic information science and I am currently working with the Center for Mobility Systems at the Austrian Institute of Technology in Vienna. I’m teaching QGIS classes at UNIGIS Salzburg and, since 2013, I serve on the QGIS project steering committee. From 2015 to 2017, I served on the OSGeo board of directors. I’ve published several books about QGIS, including “Learning QGIS” (currently 3rd edition), “QGIS Map Design”, and “QGIS 2 Cookbook”. Furthermore, I developed tools such as Time Manager and pgRoutingLayer plugin for QGIS. As part of my PSC activities, I manage the grant programme process and take care of release name selection and preparation of related graphics for installers, splash screens, and website.
I'm standing for re-election to the QGIS PSC which I've been serving on since 2013.
In my day job, I'm a researcher with the Data Science and AIS team at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in Vienna. I’m also teaching QGIS classes at UNIGIS Salzburg and have written a couple of textbooks on QGIS (e.g. “Learning QGIS” and “QGIS Map Design”).
I'm also active as a QGIS plugin developer. I've developed Time Manager, pgRoutingLayer, and most recently Trajectools.
As part of my PSC activities, I manage the grant programme process and take care of release name selection and preparation of related graphics for installers and splash screens.
**Motivation:**
My goal is to continue my work on the PSC. At the monthly meetings, I aim to be a voice of our user community, being a power user myself, as well as a moderator on GIS.stackexchange.org where I get a good overview of the issues users encounter on a regular basis.
Being a power user myself, my goal is to continue to represent the voice of the user community on the PSC.
I believe that, now more than ever, it essential to provide users worldwide with a powerful free and open tool for science, tech, and administrative work. And I want to contribute my part in proving this tool.
