Career

Resumé

I have over 25 years of experience as a professional software developer, systems architect and technical project manager. I’m interested in high-quality solutions to tough problems. I co-founded Encodo Systems AG almost 15 years ago.

My focus has always been on generalization and DRY using metadata and common libraries. I’ve written five frameworks over the years:

• Quino (C#/.NET, 2007–2021)
• MAP (Swift/Java/TypeScript, 2016–2021)
• WebCore (PHP, 2000–present)
• Test Engine (C++/MFC, 1995–2001)
• Atlas2 (Delphi Pascal, 2002-2005)

This site runs on WebCore and Quino is the engine behind many Encodo products.

Content

In addition to the links above, I’ve also got content online in the following places:

• All Blog Articles
• All Photo Albums
• Papers, Notes, Research & Manuals
• Instapaper (Likes, Archive)
• IMDb (ratings, watchlist)
• Fitness
• Twitter [1]
• Garmin Connect [2]
• Strava [3]
