Computer graphics aficionado, b-boy extraordinaire, retired battle DJ (turntablist) and general programming geek.

Graduated as New Media Designer in Germany, I moved on to freelance work in anything that touches visual effects, technical direction, 3D animation, motion graphics. Later on I fell in love with programming through coding and scripting to meet tight deadlines.

I own and run Iris VFX (irisvfx.com), though this is currently somewhat on hold as I finish my masters.

Since I believe in Free and Open Source, you can find my coding projects online at github.com/andreberg.

Personally, I love science-fiction, going all out in the pursuit of knowledge; I am an animal lover, I love cooking together, trying out new things, traveling...

I love meeting new people as I believe in the good of human nature, and I try to be optimistic at all times.

Moto

Be positive, be humble and never give up!
