I write programs out of joy of problem solving and for the purpose of learning new things.

One day, I decided to try concurrent and distributed programming in Erlang so I wrote a simple raytracer in Erlang. During my first year of university I was interested in the Unreal game series so I wrote three Unreal game modifications: Strange Love, AlphaCoop and RocketJump.

I also contribute to other people’s projects that catch my attention for various reasons. I fixed a number of bugs and improved the documentation of the UFO : Alien Invasion game. I made some minor changes to the Yukon/Seom video capturing framework. I helped with the 64bit version of the Wine project. From time to time I contribute to the Pingus game. I got involved with Pingus by writing documentation and helping with an SDL port and engine re-design. My latest major contribution is writing a C thread pool library for an emerging non-linear video editor called Lumiera.

Are you looking for a custom software solution? Are you considering an opensource product, but wish it had some specific features to better suit your needs? My computer science education, professional software development experience and knowledge of the community could be just what you need to get the most out of the opensource projects. Contact me by e-mail to discuss how I can be of service.

Over the years of Internet browsing I’ve collected a large amount of links. I won’t bore you with all of them, but instead I will mention a small portion of the links, which I feel should get some extra attention:

OpenTheBlob.com - An Open Letter To NVIDIA
