Manfred Moser
CXO, simpligility technologies inc.

Manfred Moser has been into dabbling with computers ever since getting a Commodore 64 in the 80s. He started using Linux and the internet in the 90s and has been developing software in Java since 2003. This affinity to Linux and Java made Android development a natural progression and he is now working as Android application developer and consultant with his own little company simpligility technologies.

Manfred has an engineering background, an eye for detail and a desire for doing it right, while also wanting to get the software released and used. This got him involved with agile software development methodologies before everybody was talking about it. He has a passion for tools and infrastructure that helps other developers and development teams and loves mentoring others and sharing his experience and wealth of knowledge.

His community orientation got him to contribute to various open source projects including the Maven Android Plugin and author of the Android chapter in the book Maven: The Complete Reference. He is the founder of the Vancouver Island Java User Group in Victoria, BC, where he lives with his wonderful wife and three little sons.
