a bit pedantic, a bit silly, a bit old. i love parallelism, the problems that arise in high usage application and the ways of solving them for efficiency.
i'm a bit of multihat having touched a bit of different environments, banking, telecom, insurance, finance and reinsurance.
i usually act as a moron trying to push in the heads of the developers that the GOF is a good lecture
all in all i just love solving non-trivial problems in big companies
