User:Gunnar Zarncke

Hi I'm Gunnar. I live in Hamburg, Germany in a small municipality near a small nature reserve (I have seen a dear in a garden, yes right in the city, Hamburg *is* green).

I'm freelancer and looking for interesting and demanding projects - time-range year+ - Web + mass-data + math + machine learning. See also my Xing profile.

I have four boys (born 2003-2011) and my ex-wife is living across the street with them allowing them to live with both of us.

With the additional space now available I'd consider sharing this as a rationalist house.

The best way to contact me is by email: firstname dot lastname at gmx dot de. For LW business networking with me, or other LWers, please send me a private message.

Business networking: Yes (See this post on the topic and JoshuaFox (the coordinator).

Dating: Yes, but long-distance relationships are no option

Answering questions on any given topic: Yes, esp. on parenting.

Proofreading requests: No; or rather Yes only for German texts.

Crocker's Rules: I'm happy to receive any constructive criticism even if blunt. I'd also be very happy about encouraging mails regarding my sometimes controversial posts here.
