He is known as bero (a concatenation of the first two letters of is first and last name) to many users of Ark Linux. His primary interest and work focus is in getting free software and Open Source ready for the desktop. Before he started classes, he optimized Red Hat Linux by creating his own Linux distribution known as "BeroLinux".
During his studies, he started working for Mandrake Linux (later known as Mandriva).
Rosenkränzer later accepted an offer to work for Red Hat Linux as a KDE package developer. However, he quit the job due to differences with Red Hat about the future of KDE in Red Hat.
Rosenkränzer also invented an improved system for satellite television distribution to schools in Ethiopia. Currently, Rosenkränzer works at Linaro, an organization dedicated to improving Linux on ARM processors and also for ROSA Laboratories, a company delivering their own custom brand of Mandriva Linux for the Russian government.
Ark Linux has since been merged into the project
In 2012, he has been involved with speeding up Linaro"s Android builds by modifying Bionic (software) and making better use of the toolchain.
