I'm interested in functional programming, user interfaces, end-user programming, and software design in general. I like to work in small teams that get things done with high quality standards. What really excites me are people who have a knack for "making things as simple as possible, but not simpler". I strive to do the same. In my spare time I like to play Tennis and cook.
