Who am I?

Beginning of the nineties I started to assemble computers and configure networks. Automation lead to batching and scripting. Arrived on the other side of the trench the HTTP protocol is a constant companion. The journey began with JavaScript™, then Perl, PHP and ASP™ with Visual Basic™ 5 and JScript™, ending with Java and C++. End of the nineties I began to focus .NET™, streaked Python, Ruby on Rails™, and JavaScript™ again.

I design, develop, deploy, teach, train, coach and speak software. My topics are:

  • HTML5 & Web Technologies
  • Data Access & Performance
  • Scalable & Testable Design
  • Distributed Systems & Services
  • Security, Trust & Cryptography

  About Me

Services

Software & Systems Architecture
Document and design
I have experience with different system architectures like REST, SOAP, SOA, and batch systems etc. If you need help with the "big picture", I'm able to help as well.
Individual Software
Specify and develop
I love to code, so obviously, I'd also like writing code for you. Small or big. In a team or by myself. Remote only.
Software Development Process
Analyze and establish
I've experienced a wide range of development processes, including SCRUM, MSF, XP and even V-Model. I'm doing Test-Driven Development, and have experience with Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Git, and IDE extensibility.
Architecture, Code & Security
Review and measure
If you want me to review your software, I'll be happy to do so. I particularly look for issues relating to security, data protection (GDPR), readability, encapsulation, coupling, maintainability, performance etc.
Performance & Security
Troubleshoot and firefight
I'm often called to extinguish a fire. Performance is bad? CPU usage is high? Calls last forever? Security issues? I know how to fix it.
Technology & Strategy
Coach and mentor
I support you with my experience, give recommendations, evaluate technology stacks and let you profit from not making mistakes others already have made.
Travel

If you are interested in hiring me, then please contact me. While I'm based in Northrhine-Westphalia in Wuppertal (Germany) I can travel to you if necessary, as long as I don't have to stay away from my loved ones for too long; in this case, you'll need to cover my travel expenses as well, although I sometimes include that in a fixed price offer. Collaboration over the internet is obviously a less expensive alternative and reduces my carbon footprint.

Pricing

Usually I charge by the hour (remote) and by day (on site), but can also give you a fixed price offer. My prices are high - expect to pay more than you would normally pay for a development consultant, but slightly less than a licensed lawyer, accountant, management consultant, or similar. My price may vary with the nature and length of the assignment. Also depending on the nature of the task, I may ask for a retainer fee. Please contact me for an offer.

Happy father and programmer

I've worked with Daniel at my former company newtelligence. He's a very creative and bright individual and is gifted with the ability to drill deep into technical detail and communicate his findings to individual customers as well as broader audiences in a way that they can be easily understood.

Working in IT industry, one can meet a plethora of people called experts. Well, in my personal opinion Daniel is definitely one of The Experts one could rely on - with really broad technical knowledge and deep understanding of technology & rationales that technology follows. Daniel's strong knowledge of Microsoft technologies (especially .NET) and - what I'd also like to emphasize - excellent speaker skills - appear for me to be a solid basis for very good recommendation, I hope to work with Daniel again.
