Hi, I'm Lars Richter

.NET Developer, Father & Husband

I'm a .NET developer located in Hamburg, Germany. I love working with code. It doesn't matter if it's a greenfield project or a legacy codebase. I'm passionate about clean code, software craftsmanship, unit testing and a lot of other stuff.

My current focus is on code quality. Static code analysis, unit and integration testing, as well as automated UI tests are some of my daily tools and practices. After all, code quality is a key factor in the development of maintainable software systems.
