What is thinktecture? thinktecture is a European software development support company. We help software development and architecture teams with an influx of in-depth technical knowledge and expertise in the areas of application design, scalability, security and maintainability.
 


We have specialized in helping developers and architects create distributed applications which perform and scale as necessary. Our clients work in some of the most challenging environments of software development today.

We have recognized in the past that a short period - maybe only a few days - of additional support, training or reviewing in the early phases of a project can make a big difference for its success. In the past five years we have helped a number of different projects to start quicker and to avoid critical problems right from the start.

Hi, I'm Ingo Rammer, one of the co-founders of thinktecture.

I focus mainly on architecture and design of large scale .NET applications and on the optimization of their performance and scalability. (Yes, these things often go hand in hand, but I sometimes get involved in projects which are already in production and which exhibit some undesired characteristics in this area ... ).

Technology-wise I'm working mainly on the backend and touch the various distributed application protocols (Windows Communication Foundation, Workflow Foundation, ASP.NET, MSQM, Remoting, Enterprise Services) and databases. In my toolchest, you'll always find a collection of debuggers, profilers and tracing tools.

Welcome to thinktecture, I am Christian Weyer, one of thinktecture's co-founders.

I have been modelling and implementing distributed applications with Java, COM, DCOM, COM+, Web Services and other technologies for many many years. Recently, my focus has been on the ideas and concepts of service-orientation and their practical translation in customer projects with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) being the two main technologies applied. Another - and obviously complementary - aspect of my work is dealing with application architecures based on and working with the Cloud, leveraging the Azure Services platform like Windows Azure and .NET Services.

Hiya... this is Dominick Baier!

The guys here at thinktecture sometimes make fun of my obsession with security, but I really can't help it - whenever I look at an application, its security architecture automatically become my main interest.

In my former life I mainly did penetration testing and auditing (including an BS/ISO auditor certification), but in the recent years I mainly focused on Windows/.NET security especially in the areas of ASP.NET, WCF and IIS 6/7.

Christian Nagel is a thinktecture consultant coming from a C++/COM background. He has been working on the design and implementation of distributed .NET solutions since July 2000. Christian is the author of several .NET books, has spoken at several conferences (e.g. TechEd Europe, VC Developers Conference, DevDays), and is Microsoft Regional Director. He is currently working on his next book .NET Enterprise Services, to be published by Addison-Wesley.

Hi, I’m Richard Blewett. I’m the odd one out at thinktecture in that I live in the UK.

I’ve been building distributed systems for all of my 20 years of professional development; first with client/server systems against mainframes and then on to distributed windows systems using first DCOM and then Remoting and web services.
I’ve always found a fascination in the inherent complexity in large distributed systems and the challenges in making them both scale and perform. For the last few years I have focused on technologies that generally help to build large complex systems: WCF, Workflow and BizTalk.

Hi, I'm Oliver Sturm.

I've always been fascinated by programming languages - ways of making computers understand what it is we want them to do. Of course things move on from that level: application architecture, data access patterns, multi-tier, user interfaces. I've spent the past few years working for DevExpress, a major player in the field of reusable UI components and frameworks.

Around 20 years ago I wrote my first real application in Turbo Pascal for DOS, and since then I've moved on to OS/2, Unix and Linux systems, SQL databases, PHP, Java, Windows and Web programming, .NET... the one thing I've always enjoyed during that time is the variety of topics to learn about and pass on to others. I hope to meet you somewhere!

Jörg is master for UI technologies like WPF, Silverlight and Windows Forms. In addition to the technical aspects, he always has an eye for design and usability.
Another key area of the Northern German guy is the implementation and optimization of SQL Server databases.
