Biography: Niels Sthen Hansen

I have been working professionally with software for 10 years and have had the good fortune to be with Trifork since 2008. I work as a consultant and spend most of my time on design and implementation of software for our customers. My main focus is Java technology - and I am quite excited about the Android platform and the possibilities it offers.

Software Passion: Software is about technology and software is also about people - we model our organisations, our work processes and even interpersonal relations in software. Creating software means being in the middle of all this, charged with the immense responsibility of helping other people to achieve their goals. Software is passion; we are changing the world a little bit every day with lines of code.

I have been writing software for more than two decades and in a dozen or so different programming languages. I work as a consultant, and my current primary interests are Android and J2E application programming. Over the years I have been working quite a lot with software processes and have been glad to discover, that there is a lot in common between the process of writing excellent software and the process of brewing excellent beer - both goals I try to achieve.
