Fun Facts
I designed my own sailing dinghy when I was 13
Yep, it’s true. I come from a family of boat builders and my dad helped me design and build it in his spare time.
That's me sailing the dinghy. Photo taken shortly after the dinosaurs went extinct. (Click on the image to close it.)
I've studied music
I used to dream of becoming a professional musician and even studied music a couple of years at Kulturama in the early 1990’s.
Then I came to my senses, cut my hair and became a programmer.
Music is still an important part of my life though. I enjoy listening to music, playing my guitars now and than and composing.
I have a brown belt in Karate
I trained Shito-ryu karate until the Covid-19 pandemic and a bit after that. My karateka career is on an indefinite hiatus however.

Personality & Attitude Zingers
Authentic Intelligence since 1969.
Hire me once. Remember me forever.
I bring the spark, not just the skills.
I’m the kind of person who turns “why?” into “why not?”
I’m like a Swiss Army Knife — but with a sense of humor.
Tech Zingers
I deploy faster than you can say “merge conflict.”
I do not write clever code. I write code that survives Monday.
I refactor like it's an Olympic sport.
I fight entropy with elegance.
My code doesn’t just run — it performs.
I don’t push commits — I push boundaries.
I’m not just a problem solver — I’m the problem for your competitors.
Creative Zingers
I brainstorm like it’s an Olympic sport.
I’m the idea machine you didn’t know you needed.
Strategy & Impact Zingers
I turn complexity into clarity.
I make impact look effortless.
Experimental Zingers
I prototype like it’s a sport.
I test assumptions the way others test coffee.
I fail fast, learn faster, and never stop iterating.
Taglines
Building the right software right
I don’t just build software the right way — I make sure it’s the right software to build.
Turning complexity into clarity — one line of code at a time.
I’m not here to fit in — I’m here to stand out.
I think in color — even when the world is grayscale.
Turning complexity into clarity — one line of code at a time.
Building the right software right
I believe great software starts with the right conversations. While many developers focus on building software the right way — clean code, scalable architecture, elegant design — I go one step further: I make sure we're building the right software to begin with.
That means diving deep into business needs, challenging assumptions, and translating complexity into clarity. I bridge the gap between stakeholders and systems, turning fuzzy ideas into functional products that deliver real value.
Whether I’m prototyping a new feature, leading a team, or refining a user flow, I bring a mindset that’s equal parts strategic, technical, and creative.
Let’s build something that matters — and build it well.
Unique Selling Points
I’ve been living and breathing .Net since its launch and am an expert in web development on the Asp.Net and Asp.Net Core platforms.
I can help you save time and money, avoid headache and possibly even make you sleep better by automating your deployment process.
