Professional Background
I am working as a Senior Consultant in BearingPoint's Financial Services practice in London, UK. My main responsibilities include system architecture, IT strategy, system integration, Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) initiatives. I am currently working on BearingPoint's open source Enterprise Information Management Methodology MIKE2.0. Before that I worked as a Workflow Consultant at  Hyland Software, the developers of OnBase. I got a Master of Information Systems Management (MISM) degree from Carnegie Mellon University, a Master of Business Administration and Chinese from Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration and a Bachelor of Art in Chinese Studies from University of Vienna. I am a professional member of AIIM (The Enterprise Content Management Association) and have certifications as ECMp, CDIA+ and MCP on Windows Server 2003.

Pool Billiard
I have been playing pool billiards for quite a while. I think this sport requires an incredible combination of concentration, endurance, strategy and technical skills. I have participated in 4 world championships, 6 European championships and more than 200 national and international tournaments since 1989. My last full season was 2000/2001. I am a member of the Austrian Pool Billard Federation and the European Pool Billard Federation. During my CA Trip I played a small handicap tournament, mhhhh, I think I am getting back into it...any hints on upcoming tournaments??
[Update1: I have played 3 tournaments at Shootz Cafe on the Southside(Pittsburgh), first, second, first...]
[Update2: I am currently training for the Eaton Corporate Challenge 2004 to win the Corporate Cup for Hyland Software ;)]

GSA Rep
During my time in the MISM program at CMU I was a Graduate Student Assembly Representative. If you are interested in some of the issues we working on in the past, find the old agenda here.

Other
My father is a carpenter (Tischlermeister) and has a small company in Austria. He retired in Spring of 2004 and my brother Johannes took over the family business. However, if you are interested in getting some first class advice on interior design or handcrafted furniture, I am sure that either of them will have an open ear... Please take a look at the Tischlerei Rindler Website.

Over winter break 2002, Alex, Devin and I went for a trip to California. We had a wonderful time hitting the bars for ice cream and beer. 594 Miles on  Highway 1 from San Diego to San Francisco (nice stopover in San Luis Obispo) were a little rough, but the trip was great!!

Check out the picture links section above for the latest trips to the Allegany Reservation for the Seneca Nation Indians which are one of the Six Nations (Haudenosaunee- People Building a Long House). Also, Alex, Anand, Jen and I did a trip to the McConnell's Mill State Park in Pennsylvania.
