I started my engineering career in electronic design 1969, then working some time with instrumentation, cable television and a variety of other specific technologies.

In 1974 I switched focus to computers - the first 3 years working as a service engineer. Between 1978 and 1986 my vocational activities were mostly computer systems oriented, i.e., programming and design, gradually turning more and more towards network based telematics applications as well as research projects concerning use of IT. During the nineties projects became more concerned with aspects of the Information Society. Complementary to the R&D projects I have developed hands-on skills in concurrent Internet and web technologies, as well as video related skills.

Engaged in European projects for more than 15 years. Participated in 7 different projects applying technology for education and training. I have worked as free-lance consultant since 1993.
