I am an enthusiast .NET developer who is mostly interested in class library (framework) design and algorithmic problems. I care a lot about minimal and quality code — perhaps too much sometimes. :-)

My programming language of choice is C# (its functional as well as its object-oriented aspects), but I enjoy learning new languages all the time.
