Christian Schladetsch’s Summary

I am a dedicated developer, applying my extensive experience to consistently produce elegant solutions to varied and difficult problems.

I stay on top by creating and learning new languages, techniques and platforms, and always questioning and refining existing practices and ideas. Language is the vehicle of ideas, but ideas transcend language.

That said, by understanding the pitfalls of over-engineering and by not confusing writing code with productive work, I am able to get my teams' products tested, completed and out the door on time and in budget.

Active Boost contributor, and member of ACM, SigGraph, and IGDA.

Christian Schladetsch’s Specialties:

Architectural design, test-first, performance-oriented C++ and C# development. Expert with API design, multi-threaded distributed objects, AI, "glue", visualisation & shaders.
