Hi there 👋

My name is Tim, a software developer and open source fan based in Hamburg, Germany. 🇩🇪
I'm happy you've stumbled across my profile, it seems you are interested in open source software, too.
I am actively developing and maintaining a variety of software projects in many programming languages.

Originally, I've started developing by creating (Bukkit) plugins and tools for and around the game Minecraft in Java. For instance, my first plugin UnlimitedLava 🌋 🔶 🔁 is now over 12 years old and still maintained, while the most known one SilkSpawners ⛏ 🐷 👾 gathered over millions of downloads.

Nowadays, I'm also a proud member of the Apache Software Foundation as well as a PMC member and committer of Apache Cordova. Maybe you've heard of my cordova-plugin-lottie-splashscreen 🐣 🎬 📱? It renders a nice Lottie animations as the splash screen.

Besides that, I maintain some Docker images and have developed different WebExtensions for removing Amazon affiliate links and to speed up opening JIRA issues.

Furthermore, I am a big security enthusiast and wrote my master's thesis in IT-security and forensics. 📚 ✍️
I've evaluated the security of Multi-Factor Authentication in comparison with the Web Authentication API. It's all public, feel free to have a read and give me some feedback or ask questions: https://webauthn.science/ 🕵🏻‍♂️ 🚨 🔐

Currently I'm shifting my development towards TypeScript and the cloud (mostly AWS), but I'm always looking to experiment and incorporate new tools and languages.

By sponsoring me, even a tiny bit, you can help me to contribute even more towards OSS and to ensure I can keep my projects updated and pay the bills for my server, AWS and software licenses. 💎

Feel free to reach out to me, if any questions arise.
