I am programming software since the 1980s and successfully rejected all calls for management roles and remained hands-on until today.

My journey went from Assembler and C to C++ and Java to C# and F# and JavaScript, from “Waterfall” to “Agile”, from “Imperative” to “Declarative” and other paradigm changes too many to list and remember.

Most of my career I was a contracting “Enterprise Developer” and the introduction of “new” languages, frameworks and concepts is very slow in this field. Once I decided to develop my own products I was free of such constraints and ventured into all sorts of paradigms, be it “NoSQL” or “Functional” and evaluating all the latest ideas, crazy or not. In other words, I am having fun developing software.

I was born in Vienna and live in Austria, Kenya and Portugal.
