Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Christian Mann,
born 28. September 1962 in Cologne, Germany.
Studied Computer Science, Linguistics, Art History, classical Archeology at the Universities of Cologne and Frankfurt/Main.
1992 PhD from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt/Main.
1993 - 1995 lecturer at the University of Frankfurt/Main (FB 07).
1988 - 1990 part-time software developer for mostly academic customers.
Since 1990 full-time software developer for various projects
Since 1998 I dedicate at least 20% of my professional time to holding courses, lectures and training on software development subjects. Some of the course material has been personally developed by myself. This may seem to be a restriction regarding my commitment to project work, but according my personal experience it's a sustainable improvement regarding the quality of my work in both areas.
