I'm a Windows software developer with a background in Commodore 64 and DOS programming and some experience in Unix and web development. I started writing BASIC on paper in 1985. At that time I didn't have access to a computer. My first machine in 1986 was a Commodore 64. After trying my luck with C64 games I moved to writing DOS and Windows software. Since the 1990s my main development is with Aivosto Oy.
This is a list of programs I have developed for public or professional use.

My other programs have been primarily for private use. They're mostly small utilities and simple games, such as genealogical databases for both humans and horses, a self-learning program for language students, a program to generate mazes, several formula race games and windowing user interface frameworks for both DOS and Commodore 64.
These are the programming languages I've written my programs in. In addition, I've learned the syntax of about 50 other languages at a basic level.
