#realJSOP

Software Developer (Senior) Paddedwall Software

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.

Roland is an experienced, hands-on architect on modern (micro-)services orientation.
All modern OO-oriented platforms, C# DotNet, Java Spring Boot, Python and C++ have his interest. He is experienced in all those platforms.
Architectures, patterns, concepts and frameworks are more important than tooling and languages, after all. You should apply a tool, platform or language in a modern micro-service, because it fits best to the problem at hand. Not because you're most familiar with it Smile | :)
