I started working as IT consultant mid-2001. Right at the start, I submerged in the world of Java. I've been building enterprise web applications with the aid of well known frameworks such as Spring, J(2)EE, JSF, Hibernate, ...
Later on I built up experience in RIA development with a focus on enterprise integration. iOS development is what takes most of my time these days.

I love giving presentations and try to be an active member of several developer communities.
