🙀️ What is this thing called Dave?

☕️ I'm a professional Java developer with a zillion years experience in enterprise
🦀️ Currently I'm getting to be usefully incompetent in Rust
🐍️ and Python
🐹️ and Go
💎️ and I'm giving Ruby acquisitive glances
🇬🇧️ I'm a Brit
🇸🇪️ But I live and work in Sweden (och jag pratar lite dåligt svenska)
✉️ I can be contacted by email as dave@paperstack.com
📜️ For longer writings see my blog at paperstack.com

Other hobbies

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.
