I've been programming electronic devices since 1992 when I started as a kid

|
|
|
|
toying around with GW-BASIC on my trusty 80286.

super smooth web applications with Ruby on Rails to rock-solid Java Spring

Boot back-ends, and shiny Flutter mobile and desktop apps.

My professional role includes helping businesses transition to Agile, training

I like to play bass guitar and piano. Occasionally I dabble in writing synthwave

music (it's out on vinyl!). I like reading (science) fiction or binging some TV series.

If it's technically challenging, I'll probably enjoy doing it.
