About me

Patrice Neff My name is Patrice Neff. I'm a Jesus Freak and software developer from Switzerland. I currently work for Nektoon, a Swiss startup I co-founded.

As a software developer I'm mainly specialised in Web development, currently mainly using Python, PHP, XSLT and Javascript. My other speciality is Linux system administration. I definitely enjoy programming in many programming languages and my current favourites are Ruby and Python. I love learning new programming languages and technologies.

As a Jesus freak (more traditionally called a Christian) I love studying the Bible and also looking for details. Because of that I have started the Bible Wiki project where I want to catalog every person name from the Bible. I have also been involved in missionary activities (six months in Japan with OMF among others) and my heart burns for missionary in general and especially for Japan.

My third passion is reading. Though many books are related to one of my other two passions, I also enjoy reading a wide variety of other books. For example Douglas Adam's Hitchhikers Guide Through the Galaxy, J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (luckily both of those I had read before the movies appeared), John Grisham's books. I also like to read about history and politics for a change. I have created the Media Manager to keep track of my library. Though I have not yet catalogued all my books there I plan to do so.

If you are interested in my CV, drop me a mail and I'll send it to you.
