Personal data

Name: Ruud Rietvink Date of birth: 1961/07/22 I'm now almost 29 years in the function of (Senior) software engineer/developer/specialist, divided over 5 companies. At the second company I worked at many projects for other parties. In these years I decided that I have the most interest and fun in designing and programming. Ambitions to go 'higher up', like information/requirement analysis I never had. I'm not qualified or interested in a managing role. Although I don't have much experience I don't mind a tech-lead role or lead of a small team as long as it still allows me to design and code too. I can coach juniors in design and coding. I have high regards for Agile/Scrum, because of the flexibility and fast useable results, and test-driven development, because of the security if provides. I prefer readable design/code over using every design pattern and obscure syntax the computer language provides. I have a good, dry sense of humor, sometimes a bit cynical (I try to prevent that), am direct in communication, say what I think, and am not a yea-sayer. Specialties: Object-oriented design. Quickly pickup any programming language (getting to know the framework is always the biggest part). Readable code.

The application runs on the DotNet compact Framework, and has been mainly written in C#, except for on a single assembly in C++ which communicates with the OS and the firmware. Except for this last assembly the software for both devices is the same, excluding functionality concerning batteries and wired network. The application runs on Windows CE, however only basic functionality is used. Furthermore all GUI uses GDI+ because the GUI must be very skinnable. Menus and forms are mainly XMLdriven.
