about ekke

some time ago...

ekke lives in the south of germany working as an Independent Software Architect and Senior ERP Consultant.
ekke is using Eclipse since version 2.0.
ekke survived many technologies since more then 30 years of development in the domain of ERP solutions:
starting with Assembler, Cobol, Pascal, 4GL,… and since 2000 working with Java and Domain-Specific-Languages (DSL)

ekke is architect of german ERP – Businessapplications, actually designing an ERP solution for companies of waste + recycling:

• Server: OSGI (Equinox), Eclipse Riena, EasyBeans OSGI, JPA, BusinessProcessEngine, BusinessRulesEngine, BIRT Reporting
• Rich Clients: OSGI (Equinox), Eclipse RCP, Eclipse Riena, redView
• Model-Driven: Eclipse Modeling (EMF, UML2, openArchitectureWare)

ekke believes into OpenSource: his work couldn’t be possible without Open Source and great communities around the world. So core parts from actual project will also become Open Source (EPL) to give some value back. In december 2009 redView (Riena EMF Dynamic Views) will be published open source.

ekke is Speaker at national and international conferences.
