🙀️ What is this thing called Dave?
🐧️ Where possible I like to develop under Linux (and have done so since the 0.96c.2 boot/root disk days)
☕️ I'm a professional developer with a zillion years experience in enterprise (mostly Java, though I'm not currently using it in the day job)
💎️ I'm (rather slowly) learning Ruby; I can't say I love it yet
🦀️ I'm getting to be usefully incompetent in Rust, but don't get to use it professionally much
🐍️ I'm occasionally dabbling in Python
🐹️ and a bit more often in Go
🇬🇧️ I'm a Brit
🇸🇪️ But I live and work in Sweden (och jag pratar lite dåligt svenska)
✉️ I can be contacted by email as [email protected]
📜️ For longer writings see my blog at paperstack.com

Aside from programming for fun and profession I have a few other strings to my bow. I've written a few tech books, some with my co-author Jeff Linwood, others (that mostly sank without trace) solo. I'm an over-enthusiastic swing dancer, almost exclusively dancing Balboa these days. I even teach some of the beginner tracks with my wife here in Stockholm. Plus I read a lot, pet the cat, and eat biscuits. It's a tough old life.
