About

Software engineer

  • My world is vertical market shrinkwrap. Do you know your world?
  • C#, Python, JavaScript, C, VB6, Fortran, PHP...
  • Web platforms, user interfaces, graphics, data manipulation, numerical models, CLIs.
  • Database stuff with SQL Server/Postgres/Oracle/MySQL/Firestore/Access.

At university I studied Physics but I used to write things like compilers and chess programs for fun. For a while I wrote scientific software, now it's anything :)
