My name is Mathias Brandewinder. My specialty is the design and development of decision systems and forecasting models. I have been developing .NET applications for the past 7 years, primarily for biotech and global health clients. I am very passionate about good design and development practices, with a specific interest in test-driven development, and enjoy looking at code, arguing about it, any finding ways to make it better.
I am a Microsoft MVP for VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office), and lead the San Francisco chapter of the Bay.NET user group. I speak somewhat regularly at user group meetings. I hold a MS in Operations Research from Stanford, an MS in Economics from the University of Paris 10, and a MBA from ESSEC.
When not in front of my computer, I can often be found at the gym practicing Muay Thai. Or at the closest Coffee House, having my umpteenth Espresso of the day.
