I’m a passionate Digital Asset Management expert, switching between Web developer, software architect, product and project manager roles. I’m coming from an information management background so I have a deep understanding of the DAM user perspective as well. Hamburg, Germany is where I live and work.
Blog: Tim’s Weblog is my (link) blog.
Twitter: I'm @tistre on Twitter.
I work for the SPIEGEL Verlag as “Project Manager Digital Asset Management Systems”. Ending mid-2017, I spent almost 19 years at DAM vendor Digital Collections as “Product Manager and Lead Software Developer”, building enterprise-grade Digital Asset Management (DAM) software, mostly for newspaper and magazine publishers around the world.
Skills: Web development since 1997 (70% backend in PHP, 30% frontend in JavaScript). Software architecture, data modeling, XML, Web APIs, DAM, image metadata, newspaper archives, product and project management. (Environment: MySQL, Solr, Linux, Subversion, Scrum) See my DAM developer chronicles for a detailed listing.
I don’t have a resume online but this blog post says more about me than you probably wanted to know.
You can also find me on Github, XING and LinkedIn.

My open source PHP scripts:
- digicol_xml_explorer.php is a command line PHP script for analyzing large numbers of XML files.
- OracleEditor.php is a standalone PHP script which allows you to browse your Oracle database tables and insert, update and delete rows in any table. It requires no installation and no configuration. It's quite old now, but may still be useful for you.
