About

peterI am Peter Voss (aka Peter Pipenbacher). I studied Biology with Biochemistry, Botany and Bioinformatics as major at the University of Köln and received my Diplom degree in November 2001.

I am now working as software engineer. I have strong background in large scale data processing mainly on UNIX based systems. And I have a strong background in Java, Akka, Spring, Hadoop, Lucene and distributed execution engines.

In the past I have been working for

  • AutomationHero (03/2019 – present) – Senior Architect, RPA platform
  • Datameer (11/2009 – 02/2019) – CTO & Chief Architect, BI platform
  • EMI Music (03/2009 – 11/2009) – Consultant, cloud computing BI platform

  • German Academic Exchange Service, New Delhi, India (1999-2000) – Web site development & database administration

I believe in Agile and Test Driven Development. After many years of C++ development, Java has become my passion a couple of years ago. It’s amazing at what speed Java and all surrounding tools and frameworks are evolving.

I am also co-founder of Horizont Entertainment and I proved that software engineering can be a lot of fun since my cousin Mike Voss and me developed some freeware games for your leisure time. Recently we have switched completely to Unity and C#, which is slowly becoming my favorite language.
