Nikolaus Gradwohl was born in 1976 in Vienna, Austria, and always wanted to become an inventor like Gyro Gearloose. When he got his first Atari he figured out that being a computer programmer was the closest he could get to that dream. He wrote programs for a living for nearly anything that could be programmed, ranging from an 8-bit microcontroller to a mainframe. In his free time he collects programming languages and operating systems. He has been using Processing since 2008 and has written countless sketches and some processing libraries. You can see some of his work on his blog at http://www.local-guru.net/
