What I do

I implement technology projects that will improve your bottom line and customer relationships.
I can help your company make the most out of Open Technologies, securely and always as simple as possible.

I strongly believe in the open source development model and communicate well with your non-technical colleagues. I can explain complex concepts in a simple way and try to solve user problems. That's why we, software engineers, have a job. I try to be a problem solver, not a coder or a cost center but part of where the company's true value is generated.

Fine Print

I write good code for good money.
I'm not looking to relocate, but I'm openminded about it, so if you want me to, be willing to foot the bill or don't bother.
No relocation for contract work. If you can't commit to my skills, I can't commit to your location.
I will not relocate for a position that can be done from where I sit right now. If location is more important to you than skills then I'm not a match.

My name is Marcel and I approve of this resume and its fine print.
