I have my own software company called Evelix (www.evelix.ch). The company is located in Liestal, Switzerland. I develop software for the web and the desktop. Every now and then I give computer classes in a learning institution.

I was born in 1966, am married and have one kid. Hobbies are Fasnacht (www.bmg.bs), skiing and of course computers.

Actually I studied mechanical engineering and have a bachelors degree in it, but computers interested me since I had a Commodore C128. In the meantime my mobile has a thousand times more memory than my computers back then. First I started programming in Basic. After that I did use Pascal for a while, but the real (commercial) programming started with VB3. Now I do programming in C# and sometimes still in VB6 when I have to support an older application.

Currently I'm working towards my Microsoft Certified Trainer status.
