Sven Dowideit

Sven Dowideit I was a Consulting Wiki Engineer until late 2013 - I'd been using Wiki's to raise organizations Capability Maturity since 1998, and have worked on JOSWiki and TWiki for almost as long. I am an experienced Senior Software Engineer in cross platform C++, C#, Java, and as a Wiki and Web Consultant for the last 4.

I was a Core TWiki developer since 2004, as the lead developer on the Cairo TWiki release, and then I worked with the TWiki community to build the Dakar community development processes, opening up the source base to developers outside the tiny Core team.

I offer installation assistance, customization services and training, support contracts and general help for both TWiki and Foswiki
I am a WikiRing: Professional Wiki Innovation and Support WikiRing.com founding partner - building uwiki - foswiki cloud

short CV

experienced Senior Software Engineer (C,C++,C#,SQL) and foswiki consultant (Perl,Javascript,css,unix,windows,installers). I've spent the last 10 years working on the twiki/foswiki codebase, integrating a wide variety of systems into the core, re-engineering the internals, writing Plugins, applications and skins.

Since being locked out of the TWiki project, we're all working hard to realize the ideas we've had.
