Procod is a "micro ISV", a software company composed of a single person. I founded Procod in 2002; it is a company based in Romania. Until now I have done consulting work and I also developed my open-source project, PicoStorage : Lightweight Structured Storage.

I value over all the simplicity in design and implementation. I want the resulting design and code to be comprehensible, manageable and explicit. Simplicity means avoiding un-necesary baroque features, using the simplest solution that works, writing only obviously self explicit source code; it is resonant with clean design.

I develop and test on multiple platforms (Windows and Linux) during the entire development cycle. Portability is adressed from the design.

The software I develop achives maintanability (through clean design, simplicity & portability), and economic memory & cpu footprint.

My first-choice language is C++. I have experience with Posix enviroments (mainly Linux, also Solaris) and with Windows. I regularily use these tools: GCC (compiler), MINGW (GCC ported to Windows), CVS (version control), Scons (build tool), Emacs (editor).
