on-wiki: I registered this account on 25 March 2004 (verify) and became an administrator on 1 October 2008 (verify · my RfA). I was a member of the Arbitration Committee from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2021.; My main areas of activity as an admin are deletion-related, especially speedy deletion, although I also help out at WP:UAA, WP:DYK, WP:RFPP, WP:AFD and other areas.; Yhwos (contribs) [testing // heavy tool use] and SWM (contribs) [mobile use] are also me.
off-wiki: 41 year old // lawyer // living in Munich, Germany.; English is my second language, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. Apart from Wikipedia, I enjoy a range of "geeky" hobbies, mostly gaming, reading, listening to music and watching TV shows and movies.
(potential) biases: skeptic // atheist // social liberal // social democrat; If you believe that I have let my personal opinions influence my editing or administrative duties, please tell me about it. I will do my best to learn from any mistakes I make but in order to do so, I need to be aware of them.
