Resume/CV - Erik Unger

Networker and Connector, Experienced Software Engineer/Architect,

Innovator, Idea Machine

Starting out as an introverted engineer, I have done a lot of personal

development over the last 2 years. Now I am more a networker and connector,
interested in finding out what people want and why. With my blog
StartupMelbourne.com and its event calendar I have established myself in the
Melbourne social media and entrepreneurial scene.

My main technical expertise lies in large scale software development and

architecture, which I gained by working on projects in the areas of automotive,
science, military, geo information, 3D and games.

In nearly all projects, I worked on the design of the basics, the "engine" that
makes the rest of the project go. I am also known as the go-to guy for those
impossible problems that have been floating around unsolved for too long.

Over the 14 years of my professional career (20 years including programming as teenager) I have
worked with the following static typed languages: C/C++, C#, Java and Pascal/Delphi. The
dynamic typed languages I used are: Python, PHP, JavaScript and ActionScript. I have also used
x86 Assembler code to optimize performance and memory usage of critical program areas
(starting with drivers for graphics cards under MS-DOS, games, 2D and 3D rendering as well as
wearable military prototype hardware).

Beside large scale software, I have also developed smaller scale web applications. Databases I
have used include Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.

I am very active in social media and would call myself an expert if this name had not been ruined
by so many bad experts out there ;-)

Beside my obvious passion for engineering and networking as mentioned above, I am very
interested in economics, work processes and team dynamics. In general I want to understand
what's going on behind the curtain to see the bigger picture.
