I've been involved in object-oriented software development since 2006, when I graduated in Information and TLC Engineering. I've been working for several software companies / departments, mainly on Microsoft and Sun/Oracle technologies. My favourite programming language is C#, next comes Java.
I love design patterns and when I need to resolve a problem, I try to get the best solution, which is often not the quickest one.

"On the best teams, different individuals provide occasional leadership, taking charge in areas where they have particular strengths. No one is the permanent leader, because that person would then cease to be a peer and the team interaction would begin to break down. The structure of a team is a network, not a hierarchy ..."
My favourite team work quotation by DeMarco - Lister in Peopleware
