CodeProject Spam Slayers - Professional Profile

Born and raised in Denmark.
In 2001 I landed a job developing PC based video surveillance systems in California and I have been doing that ever since.
 
Besides heading up the Software Development department, I also maintain our SW test lab. 16 computers running video recorders on various hardware platforms and Operating Systems. Other systems in the lab include build machines, 3rd party integrated systems, various audio equipment and lots of cameras.
 
I am not really mad (all the time), but SoMad seemed like an amusing spin on my real name, Soren Madsen.

Marco made his first steps in programming with C# and the .NET framework. Afterwards he switched over to C++ development with Visual Studio and the Qt framework. Java is also a part of his experience but he ain't gonna use it if you do not force him with all your strength to do so.
 
As a part of the "generation Facebook" he grew up with social networks, video platforms as YouTube and Vimeo are, Smartphones and HD screens but also remembers the noisy annoying analog modems and Windows 95 including DOS games.
 
He never gets enough sleep and beside working in the R&D department of a international medical diagnostic company he is the guy behind the SMGT Web-Portal (A web application to help local shooting clubs organizing their events and staff based on ASP.NET and a MySQL server) and contributing articles to the CodeProject. If he isn't either coding or sleeping you can meet him at the Muay Thai training or somewhere else in central Switzerland.
