Nikolaus Gradwohl was born 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 is the closest he could get to that dream. He has written programs for nearly anything that can be programmed, ranging from 8-bit microcontrollers to mainframes, for a living. In his free time, he collects programming languages and operating systems.
He is the author of the book Processing 2: Creative Coding Hotshot. You can see some of his work on his blog at http://www.local-guru.net/.
