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 ARM/DSP and FPGA projects.
Currently works for a software development company as a fulltime .NET (/Mono and Java) developer. My current assignment deals with interoperability and cross platform support (x86/Windows, Linux and ARM/Linux) of a large .NET codebase. As part of my job I give lectures on software development (and Open Source). Lives in the Netherlands and Beijing, China.
Dutch: Misfitted Geek. In 1986 blootgesteld aan het Amiga-virus en nooit meer genezen... en nu een developer en ambassador in de Open Source wereld voor diverse projecten, zoals Fedora, openSUSE, maemo, Moblin, 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,
