About

I am an experienced software developer for both technical and business software, mainly in C#/.NET. Most professional projects are web applications or web services in the telecommunications field, for large corporate customers.

I work and live in Switzerland. In my spare time I build and hack hardware stuff and occasionally, I blog on https://qrys.ch about it.
