Wolf Bergenheim — CTO

At Google I'm working as a Technical Solutions Engineer on Geospatial products. This involves debugging customer issues, relating to the use of Google's geospatial products. In GRASS I'm working on a module which does automatic label placement by using a Simulated Annealing algorithm. I've also took part in Google's Summer of Code 2007-2011 as a mentor and administrator for OSGeo. At Ixonos I worked on the MeeGo platform, working with C and C++ (Qt) developing middle-ware components to the core OS. I'm also working on a test framework in Python. At Movial I worked with OMA IMPS and XMPP (jabber) instant messaging protocols. I also developed a HTTP library and worked with Amazon SQS. I've worked as a system administrator and a software developer, so my skills are quite broad. At the moment I work with different Internet communication protocols so I am very familiar with TCP and IP networking.Recently I have developed programming libraries for HTTP, XCAP, SOCKS5, and SQLite. I'm interested in Linux and Open Source and GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and combining the three (GRASS). While working for the Finnish Geodetic Institute I researched the usage of GRASS GIS for the engine of a Web Processing Service. The article was published in the AGILE 2009 conference in Hanover. I am mostly interested in all kinds of network related protocols. Used for what ever. Things like instant messaging and other network communications interest me. Last but not least I'm interested in computer algorithms, especially related to the GIS, and related problems. Specialties: C, C++, GIS techniques and algorithms, and GIS software (GRASS, Arc, MapInfo), Qt, GNU Autotools, GNU Make, PHP (web and shell scripting), Python, CMake, Shell scripting, Java, xhtml, HTML, XML, JavaScript, Linux administration both on the desktop and server side. Training rats to play basketball. Internet technologies I am familiar with XMPP OMA IMPS SIP / SDP / XCAP HTTP SOCKS WMS WFS WPS
