Hello, I'm Xavier. Although I'm retired, programming remains a passion and a favorite hobby of mine.

I’ve been programming since the 1970s, beginning with HP-Basic and Fortran. Over the years, I’ve continually expanded my skills, and in 2003–2004 I ventured into .NET programming, which opened new opportunities to explore and create.

Before retiring, I collaborated as a software programmer at Nixdorf Computer, later acquired by Siemens. There, I enhanced the “Nix routines,” a set of templates that significantly improved file access programming and spared developers from starting from scratch. I also developed two original projects for my thesis, which unfortunately lost their value when a change in Swiss law reshaped the school and rendered its degrees invalid —and even made it unlawful to hold them in Germany.

I find joy in solving problems and bringing ideas to life through code, which keeps me engaged and constantly learning.

Currently, I balance developing applications —some math-related— with my ongoing challenge of seeking patterns in completely random distributions, a puzzle I’ve been tackling for years.

If you’re interested, you can explore my applications on my website, with additional ones published on CodeProject and the Microsoft Store —see my CodeProject Articles, Downloads, or Recent Application.

I’m always open to connecting with fellow enthusiasts or anyone with feedback or suggestions for my projects. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

P.S. I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, whose technical insights and suggestions have been of considerable help in the development of my projects.
