<p>
	My name is Mark Seemann, and <em>ploeh blog</em> is my professional blog (not that I have a personal blog). Here, I write about programming, software development and architecture.
</p>
<p>
	I'm a professional programmer and software architect living in Copenhagen, Denmark, and currently an independent advisor. I enjoy reading, drawing, playing the guitar, good wine, and gourmet food.

<h2>Contact me</h2>
<p>
	There are lots of ways to contact me, and you are wellcome to do so, e.g. if you want to hire me, want me to speak at a conference or user group meeting, or simply if you have a question you think I should answer here on the blog. In case of public speaking, you can also review <a href="http://lanyrd.com/profile/ploeh/">my public speaking schedule</a>.
</p>
<p>
	One way to contact me is via email. Here's a little test of your sentience: take each segment of the following email address, and reverse it (e.g. oof@rab.zab would become foo@bar.baz): kram@heolp.kd.
