Who's this geek
I am a programming enthusiast, software engineer, open-source developer and a certified trainer and
coach. I've spent most of my time with the Java SE/EE technology stack and especially enjoy
programing in alternative JVM programming languages - Groovy, Scala, Clojure or Ruby.
Concurrent programming, distributed systems and domain specific languages are my greatest passion.
In the past I've had the pleasure to participate in several projects for the financial sector in
Luxembourg, Switzerland and the Czech republic, create e-commerce applications, develop programming tools and
gain experience with domain specific languages. In parallel I do research in data mining and also keep an eye on
alternative techniques for software development, like genetic algorithms and neural networks.
You can also frequently find me speaking at technical conferences.
Current projects:
- JetBrains Meta Programming System - a projectional DSL workbench making Domain Specific Languages a breeze.
- GPars - an open-source library of high-level concurrency concepts, such as actors, agents, dataflow or fork/join designed for the Groovy and Java programming languages.
Scheduled trainings
- Free SkillsMatter MPS workshop, London, uk, 26th September 2013
