Håvard Rast Blok

Welcome!

I'm a European software engineer / computer geek currently living in Zurich, Switzerland and working for Google.

I studied at Høgskolen i Østfold (Østfold University) and did my MSc degree in Computer Science at The University of Birmingham. My main focus has for many years been programming in Java, with influences from both research in Natural Computation, financial software and smaller desktop software. You can find some of my projects on SourceForge including JBookmarks API and application, various of my snipplets and finally the tutorial site Remember Java.

Other interests include techno, house, hard house and ambient, photography, and cooking. Keeping all this up-to-date is not that interesting though, and anything on these pages is probably lagging two years behind reality.

For random stuff, have a look at my blog, or if you want to, contact me.
