Hello!

My name is
Benjamin Knofe
and I'm a developer
from Leipzig.

I love to create
things with code.

  • data and information visualization
  • generative graphics and animation
  • interactive installations
  • experimental prototyping
  • custom web applications

I like to use the following technologies:

openFrameworks, Processing, C++, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Git/GitHub, (Arch)Linux, HTML5, Javascript, jQuery and probably the new shiny thing, the cool kids are playing with tomorrow.

You can see most
of my work on
github, vimeo or flickr.

Beside that,
I have written
my diploma thesis
last year.

The topic of my thesis is

"Concept and prototypic implementation of a software for information visualization".

I have written a software, where visual programming can be used to visualize complex data. So there is no need for writing code, if you don't like to.
See the pictures on flickr to get an idea how it works.

The software is called datasynth and is released under the MIT-License.
