Mission

Use computers and my knowledge to develop things that are (either or all)

  • good for society,
  • good for the environment
  • drive on Mars (would settle for the Moon)

I am currently focusing on three main topics:

  • How to solve the Digital Transformation.
  • Finding a good software development process that caters to productivity and allows a fast turnaround on security patches and feature deployment.
  • Where software architecture is headed and the gist of modern software solutions.

Trying to leave IT better than I found it.
