Programming Languages & Tools

My primary technical expertise centers on Microsoft technologies. I have worked with the .NET framework since its inception and have extensive experience with Azure DevOps and Git–based workflows. While grounded in hands-on engineering, my core focus is on software architecture and design patterns, with particular emphasis on service-oriented architectures and microservices.

I maintain a strong strategic interest in artificial intelligence and its role in shaping modern software platforms, particularly in enabling intelligent automation, improved decision-making, and long-term architectural evolution. I actively evaluate how AI capabilities can be responsibly and effectively integrated into systems to drive innovation and business value.

I have contributed successfully within both small and large teams, ranging from 2 to 20 members, and strongly advocate agile and lean delivery methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and Crystal.

Interests

Beyond my professional focus, I have a strong interest in technology, smart gadgets, and sustainable energy solutions, including hands-on experience through my own balcony solar power system. I find creative balance in playing guitar, dancing, and engaging in practical, hands-on projects, particularly in my own garden.

In the past, I also wrote several articles for the magazine freeX. Unfortunately, the magazine was discontinued several years ago.

Software

When I find the time, I work on several smaller open-source projects. Some of these include, for example:

• NukeBinObj - a commandline tool to clean the 'bin' and 'obj' folders of a Visual Studio solution (.Net, C#, AI generated). GitHub
• SmartCon - a small collection of console utilities like commandline processing (.Net, C#). NuGet-Package, GitHub, Show Repository-InfoHide Repository-Info
• Glossary - A Visual Studio extension for adding a glossary to your solution (.Net, C#). Visualstudio Marketplace
• Nasty Tanks - An oldscool retro tank-game for Android phones and tablets (Java, Android).
• DesktopRuler - a ruler for the desktop to measure pixels (.Net, C#). Install, Download
• SqlGui - a database frontend for MySQL and PostgreSQL (QT, C++). Download
• TOMTeC - The One Million-th T*tris Clone (.Net, C#). TOMTeC-Win, TOMTeC-Console
• Prototype - an applicaion for documenting protocols. Winner of the programming contest of Linux-Magazin 6/2003 (QT, C++). Download, Plugins
