The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

I'm a young Software Engineer. Whilst I may accept a 'status quo' as given, it's my responsibility to improve it as soon as the opportunity arises.
Very familiar with the .Net framework since it has been the underlying foundation for most of my professional work so far. I'm that kind of guy who gets stuff done, while I may also improve the way things work whilst I'm at it. Generally can get along well with most people I meet as a professional.
Fervent volunteer firefigter, captain-ranked air force militia spec officer.
Great friend and generally nice to have me around - For a talk, a beer, or a bonfire (I might as well do all of those things combined). Oh, and I really love music - Rock & country that is, mostly.

RaGE is a French engineer in mecatronics, who has written software for embedded automotive applications and device drivers in another lifetime. He also worked as a process development improver automotive parts company in the world. He knows about CMMI, SPICE, and other kind of obscure ISO thingies.

His firstname is actually Regis [pronounced "Rage-iss"], but this was one syllable to much for his friends.

He loves magic tricks, especially with cards and coins, plays badly the guitar and is a great sports fan.

He was also very proud of being cited in Ali's bio. Long live chocolate !

Born and raised in Denmark. Moved to California in 2001.

2013 - Present: Working in the Medical Imaging field.
2001 - 2013: Worked on development of PC based video surveillance systems.

I am not really mad (all the time), but SoMad seems like an amusing spin on my real name, Soren Madsen.
