My work

For most of my professional life I have worked for Cybernetic Intelligence GmbH, a Swiss software company which was, and still is, highly successful in research and consulting, moderately good at independent software development and highly unlucky come sales.

Here is an extract of articles I have written and presentations I have created. All of these are either my own intellectual property or that of Cybernetic Intelligence GmbH, in latter case I have their permission to have these links on my page.

ZIPped MS Power Point presentation (99.1KB)

My work with Cybernetic Intelligence GmbH has finished in early 2004, when I have signed a contract with ARM. My new responsibilities took me to the main ARM site in Cambridge, where I has been working on compilers and related tools for ARM platforms for just over three years before leaving ARM and going freelance.

The saga goes on...
