This site is about me, my activities and other things I like... :oP). It should be a weblog page, but I'm not really someone who would write everyday, except for source code that is. Friends often call me Dexter, cause of my own 'little' Laboratory (personal Hackerspace).
Software engineer for both Unix/Linux as Windows based software in different programming and scripting languages; Java Certified Programmer, Microsoft Certified Programmer. Has broad knowledge about maintenance of a mixed OS and virtualization environment. Active user of Red Hat Linux since the Vanderbilt release (RHL 4.1). As hardware engineer I deal with MIPS, FPGA, ARM and DSP projects.
Worked for many years at a software development company as a fulltime Java and .NET (/Mono) developer. My last assignment dealt with interoperability and cross platform support (x86/Windows, Linux and ARM/Linux) of a large .NET codebase.
Now active as a Linux/Open Source consultant in China. As part of this I give lectures on software development (and Open Source). I am project-lead of Fedora-MIPS and assist the Chinese Fedora Community. Lives in Beijing, China and the Netherlands.
Dutch: Misfitted Geek. In 1986 blootgesteld aan het Amiga-virus en nooit meer genezen... en nu een developer en ambassador in de Open Source Community en Copyleft Hardware wereld voor diverse projecten, zoals Fedora, Qi Hardware, milkymist, MeeGo, Mono, FSFe en andere.
Waarom misfitted? Omdat ik niet graag in een T-Shirt rondloop met Un*x-baard, maar liever in een mooi strak pak. Als day-time job wordt er van mij verwacht dat ik .NET (of Java) ontwikkelaar ben.
Greets,
