Technical Lead CoolSoft

I started programming in the early 1984, when I was 12, using each and every version of VB, from QuickBasic (1985) to VB.NET 11.0, but also C#, C++, PHP, JavaScript, Fortran, Pascal, Modula2, together with a lot of frameworks like Symfony, jQuery, Drupal.

My most popular project is VirtualMIDISynth, a software MIDI synthesizer (using .sf2 soundfont files) implemented as a virtual device driver. It works on all modern Windows OS from XP to 8, both 32 and 64 bit.

Another project of mine is DeCodEx (DEsigner CODe EXtractor), a free tool to split VisualStudio 2003 forms and controls source code into the new 2005/2008 partial classes format (*.vb and *.Designer.vb, or *.cs and *.Designer.cs).

I like writing tools to make my seveloper and SysAdmin life easier.
