Tobias has been programming and tinkering with hardware ever since he got his first 8-bit computing kit at age 12. A polyglot programmer (C++, JS, SQL and others), his default language of choice nowerdays is Python since "pretty much any problem can be solved in 50 lines of Python". He is the original author and driving force behind the Web Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP), the Autobahn WAMP client libraries and Crossbar.io, the leading WAMP router (all of which are open source).
