Members introduction

Hi:

I like the idea of a list to talk about smalltalk-business related stuff.

I'm Germán Arduino from Argentina, in software development from 1985 (IBM Mainframes at this
time). In 1991 I founded my own microISV [1] company named Arduino Software [2] where I develop
packaged and custom applications. And yes, other no- Smalltalk stuff are part of my business, as other development tools and web hosting and administration solutions.

I'm in Smalltalk from year 2000 approximately when I started searching a replacement for the tools
that I was using in such times (FoxPro/Visual FoxPro) and escape from Microsoft domain.

My main packaged product is a password and notes manager, called PasswordsPro [2] that is developed in
Dolphin Smalltalk (As Esteban, I also keep my own license).

Also I've some other products, mainly custom systems for different customers and markets [4]

I really love Smalltalk and I'm a contributor of Squeak, Pharo and lately Cuis, a Smalltalk forked from Squeak.

I developed lots of custom applications, the most that I can in some Smalltalk dialect (web and desktop)
and I prioritize highly the possibility of work in Smalltalk, so I'm open to be hired :)

About this list I would like to exchange ideas and feelings about the use of Smalltalk in business (all industries) and mainly in my business focus, the MicroISV world, but without exclude other interesting possibilities as the startups ecosystem for example.
