Thomas Winkler
Thomas loves challenging projects making his platform of choice even more usable and flexible, so when he joined metaquark it was with the goal to solve the software updating problem on the Mac, a project that has since evolved to become AppFresh. Besides developing software he is busy parenting his son Mika and enjoys playing soccer and travelling. Thomas hopes to move to a sunnier, warmer and spanish-speaking place some day… maybe Barcelona! Despite being a vegetarian for about ten years he still can’t make the move to vegan.

Maik Szmatulewicz
Maik leads metaquark’s graphics and design efforts and has a strong personal interest in software ergonomics. In his spare time he loves to help out in the bakery of his girlfriend and dreams of improving his still limited skills as confectioner. He is a vegetarian and works on bringing vegan cake recipes to perfection some day. When not in the bakery he is looking for new stereo components and the perfect sound in his living room. Unfortunately there is no time for taking more spanish lessons or travelling more than once a year.
