Summary
My main area of work is developing custom solutions tailored to client needs. This covers the entire development cycle, from requirements analysis through technology selection, architecture, design, and finally implementation and extension.
On the technology side, since 2002 I have mainly used .Net, C#, C++, Visual Studio, SQL Server, and MS Office in the Windows environment. However, this depends on the requirements. Since 2017, I have also worked on Android apps (Visual Studio / Xamarin), and since 2021 on Linux development with .Net/Visual Studio.
Many of my past projects I built as classic client/server desktop systems, and more recent ones mostly as web applications.
Besides new development, since 2011 I have gained extensive experience migrating complex applications from unmanaged code to managed code (VC++ to .Net, C++/CLI). I have also worked extensively on porting older VB6 applications to .Net or redeveloping them. With .Net Core, .Net 5, and currently .Net 6, migrations remain a constant topic.
Additionally, I have gathered experience in low-level hardware-related projects, both under Windows (printer drivers, kernel-mode drivers) and under Linux (diagnostic devices, IoT box).
