Software Developer (Senior) Paddedwall Software
United States United States
I've been paid as a programmer since 1982 with experience in Pascal, and C++ (both self-taught), and began writing Windows programs in 1991 using Visual C++ and MFC. In the 2nd half of 2007, I started writing C# Windows Forms and ASP.Net applications, and have since done WPF, Silverlight, WCF, web services, and Windows services.

My weakest point is that my moments of clarity are too brief to hold a meaningful conversation that requires more than 30 seconds to complete. Thankfully, grunts of agreement are all that is required to conduct most discussions without committing to any particular belief system.

Greece Greece
I am a web developer for a software house in Athens, Greece. I currently work almost exclusively with the Microsoft stack of languages, and most prominently with C#. However, I have worked extensively with PHP in the past, dabbled in C and C++ while doing my MSc, and for my pet projects I usually resort to Python, if a GUI is not necessary. That said, I'm also usually the guy that oversees/designs the database schema for each new project at work.

When not in front of the computer, I enjoy watching and helping my two young daughters grow up. Sometimes I do that while in front of the computer too.
