All articles are supplied as-is, as a howto on a particular task that worked for me in the past. None of the articles are supposed to be out-of-the-box freeware controls and nor should they be treated as such. Caveat emptor.

Now living and working in Australia, trying to be involved in the local .NET and Agile communities when I can.

I spend a good chunk of my spare time building OpenCover and maintaining PartCover both of which are Code Coverage utilities for .NET.

I'm a software engineer and consultant working in San Diego, California. I began using .NET during the early alpha releases since I worked for a Microsoft subsidiary then, and now I've focused my career on .NET technologies.

There are a lot of .NET sites out there now, but The Code Project is still top of the heap.
CEO
Brazil Brazil
I develop software since I was 11. In the past 20 years, I developed software and used very different machines and languages, since Z80 based ones (ZX81, MSX) to mainframe computers. I still have passion for ASM, though no use for it anymore.
Professionally, I developed systems for managing very large databases, mainly on Sybase and SQL Server. Most of the solutions I write are for the financial market, focused on credit systems.
To date, I learned about 20 computer languages. As the moment, I'm in love with C# and the .NET framework, although I only can say I’m very proficient at C#, VB.NET(I’m not proud of this), T/SQL, C++ and libraries like ATL and STL.
I hate doing user interfaces, whether Web based or not, and I’m quite good at doing server side work and reusable components.
I’m the technical architect and one of the authors of Crivo, the most successful automated credit and risk assessment system available in Brazil.

All my life I have been passionate about architecture / software design, as this is the cornerstone to a maintainable and extensible application. As such, I have enjoyed exploring some crazy ideas and discovering that they are not so crazy after all. I also love writing about my ideas and seeing the community response. As a consultant, I've enjoyed working in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, boatyard management, remote sensing, emergency services / data management, and casino operations. I've done a variety of pro-bono work non-profit organizations related to nature conservancy, drug recovery and women's health.

I am a software engineer based in Timișoara, Romania and currently hold the position of software architect for one of the largest companies in the world.

I invented a dialect of the Forth programming language and implemented the first Forth compiler for the .NET platform. I reverse-engineered the communication protocol of some GPS trackers and wrote from scratch a vehicle tracking system that is currently used to track my two cars. I hold a PhD in computer science and I am the author of several papers and a book chapter. In the 90s I wrote several computer viruses in assembly language for my own research and I was the first to devise a technique to deter heuristic virus scanners. In short, a humble man.
