== General presentation ==

Hi, my name is '''André Weber'''. 


Who I'am? I'am a german engineer. I have studied on a 'University of cooperative education' (here http://www.ba-glauchau.de/) in the years from 1997 - 2000, and finished as "Dipl. Ing. (BA)". 


Currently I work as software development engineer for a medium size company in germany, there I'am do database design, integration of geographic information systems, or new geodatasources and a lot of software architecture stuff. 


In my sparetime - I'am continue software development and coding - for different open source software / open hardware projects. 
* VideoLAN
* AtmoLight see here http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/AtmoWin 
* Y.A.R.D. (Yet Another Remote Device) see here http://wiki.htpc-news.de/wiki/index.php?title=Y.A.R.D.
(sorry that the pages are only in german...:) if you are interested to translate them... feel free :-) you are welcome)


For these projects and my profession I have learned serveral coding languages - so I have skills in:
* C / C++ 
* x86 ASM
* Java
* µC ASM from Microchip
* and much Delphi (Object Pascal)


===My way to VideoLAN coding?===
In October 2007 I came in touch with VideoLAN for coding a videofilter to support the AtmoLight hardware. After submitting serveral smaller patches, or spotting problems - I got the privilege to get a full member of the VideoLAN team - since then I'am working mostly on Windows related problems of VideoLAN I have no special working area - so I dived into audio stuff (waveout, spdif issues), DirectShow Capture (choosing devices and settings) and some QT stuff for the new Gui... and fixed some smaller other bugs.
