47ron.in | Tales of a Software Craftsman

Hello, My Name is Boguste.

An experienced developer who likes to get things done.

I currently work at Sungard AS, where I spend most of my time working on awesome projects in the .NET stack.

In my spare time I experiment with new Technologies, blog, work on side/portfolio projects, and offer free advice on startups, entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship and technology.

My top five Gallup strengths are Analytical, Achiever, Responsibility, Restorative and Harmony. I am a self-driven Engineer who gets things done, who loves solving problems and who isn’t afraid of taking ownership of anything I commit to, all while maintaining harmony with clients and colleagues.

The breadth of my Engineering expertise ranges from DevOps, Distributed Systems, Cloud Architecture and Backend API development to Web and Mobile Development, as well as Software Testing.
