Tassilo Philipp

Tassilo Philipp is the Server Engineer of Shroud of the Avatar. He is a self-taught programmer originally from southern Germany. He is kind of a nomad, never staying in one place for too long. Having lived in multiple countries he worked at different games and middleware studios for more than a decade. It all started at Spellbound Studios in Germany, Creative Patterns in France, then Trinigy and Havok, and finally Portalarium. He joined Lord British's team in July of 2012, now working with quite a few people that were responsible for many memorable child-hood memories - first and foremost Ultima games. Currently working on Shroud of the Avatar’s server backend, all things networking, website backend, the OS X and Linux versions of SotA, etc. he is one of Portalarium's core members being part of SotA from the very beginning.

Outside of Portalarium, he's an open-source enthusiast at home on many different platforms and enjoys working on all kinds of different projects, meshnet links in Austin (please contact him if interested), contribution of some FreeBSD ports, http://dyncall.org, a bunch of websites for friends, blog at http://0xpebbles.livejournal.com, ...

He is known in the SotA community as the epic mustache guy and loves to sip on a glass of Chartreuse every once in a while. He's also known to leak some dev-screenshots from time to time :)
