About Gert Smits

Developer, technical lead, scrum master and product architect. Experienced in agile development and architecture. As part of a development team, driving to get new products realized in time and good quality. I believe, as a fan of Uncle Bob (Robert C Martin), that an architect should also be involved in the implementation of his own design and experience the consequences for (possibly bad) decisions. In my opinion one should always invest in increasing its capabilities, learning new technologies, languages and principles. For me, currently, that is learning Swift and functional programming in Java and Swift.Expertise: Architecture, Patterns, UML, Scrum, Agile, SaaS, PaaS, JPA, JDBC, Java, Groovy, Gradle, Jenkins, Python, C++, Eclipse, Eclipse JDT, VB, DCOM, Performance Profiling, TM Forum, Windows, Linux, etcOther interest (study) areas: Functional Programming in Java 8, Game Programming, Game AI, ANTLR, Lego Mindstorms, OSX. Just started with: learning Swift, it supports Functional Programming... nice!
