User:Jeroen De Dauw

My name is Jeroen De Dauw. In my professional life I am a Software Craftsman with a passion for effective value delivery. Besides being the software architect at Wikimedia Deutschland I am an entrepreneur, technical director of Professional.Wiki and occasional consultant. You might know me from my talks and blog posts on software design and clean code, or from my involvement in the open source world and with projects such as Wikidata and Semantic MediaWiki.

I have been contributing to Semantic MediaWiki since 2009 and am one of its maintainers. I am also on the steering committee of the  Open Semantic Data Association, a non-profit supporting the SMW project. You can hire me for development work and advise via Professional.Wiki. Hosting plans and professional support are also available.

You can support me by sponsoring on GitHub.
