Congratulation

You have managed to find me and you can now find out who I am. I'm not a native english person, so if you find an error in my text, you can have it.

My name is Sven Erik Matzen - if you know me, drop me a mail to Sven.Erik.Matzen@web.de. If you don't know me, you can contact me by that address, too.

My programming expirience contains hardcore Visual Basic (from 3.0 to 6.0), much of SQL, programming in VB.Net 1.1, 2.0 and VB/C#.Net 3.5, 4.0, AJAX, WCF, WIF and Linq, also HTML with some JavaScript and CSS, very little "old" C . Since some months I also have active projects using Silverlight and I'm starting with cloud computing using Microsoft Azure.

The from 1997 to the end of 2007 I was working in a small company. There I was responsable for the software development, the server and database maintenance. The servers where all Microsoft centric (most Windows 2003 and some Windows 2000 machines). We did use MS SQL Server 2000 in the productive systems and MS SQL Server 2005 for some development systems. Externally we had > 3500 distinct workstations accessing our application servers - most of them use the applications frequently (> 1000 distinct PCs per day). Also the request rate per day was about 200.000 and the hit rate per hour was between 1.000 and 25.000. In all projects I was involved as an application architect, team leader or programmer. We did usually avoid to use prebuild components and had our own libraries. The projects contain a web services, programmatical "flash-file" generation, router configuration tools using telnet, content management system based on xml and xsl, data conversion and automatic data queries using http, web scanning using bot's.

Now I'm member of a team of experts for SOA, BI and .Net development at SDX-AG. We are developing solutions for top enterprises in banking, retail and logistic.

My personal background contains a diploma in biology, some work in biochemistry, development of windows system tools as an independent programmer, hardware and network installation.

My current private focus is on IT security - containing physical, infrastructure and application security.

I'm a member of MIND. You can also find me on https://www.xing.com/ and http://www.linkedin.com/.
