Ruben has worked as a software development consultant for over ten years, mainly on financial systems.

Currently speaks mainly C#, T-SQL, regex, XML and ASMX. Periodically yearns for the 'good old days' of speaking C++, STL, ATL and ASM. But for now that all sits nicely up there in swap space, along with those indelibly tattooed x86 instruction set cycle counts and DOS interrupt numbers.

He also sometimes tries to play football, but the less said about that the better.

Ruben lives in Dublin, Ireland.
