I am a software development professional with a passion for technology. I have experience working with developers, designers, software architects, sales, system engineers, project managers, QA and support teams. I enjoy living and growing with the software being developed. - I always try to improve my skills and learn new technologies. - I don't give up. - I am great at tackling problems.During the first production-ready deploy, I was on the team performing stress tests, application profiling and analyses of the application's bottlenecks. The application was performing with 50% deviation on two different application servers. After various performance improvements it all came down to an environment variable which was not set. The implemented improvements also boosted performance on the "good" (and bad) app. server by 30%. - I am always welcoming changes. - I am lazy - "If it can be automated, there's more time for coding".I have successfully introduced Maven and software build automation in an old-school company which improved collaboration with outsourcers. Adding all the application components to automated builds led to shorter cycles between error detecting and error fixing. Connect! if you want to talk technology, business .. kitesurfing or cars.
