I have known Jrgen for more than 7 years and he never ceases to impress me with his knowledge and his experience in software development and web development, his expertise in ASP.NET Core and Azure solutions, and his consultancy and software architecture skills. Jrgen has been involved with ASP.NET since the first releases and has a vast amount of experience with all the .NET and .NET Core versions. His journey has now moved on to Azure and application development in the cloud using the latest ASP.NET Core technologies, Azure DevOps, and cloud-based solutions.

Jrgen is one of the leading community experts in the Swiss and German region and is extremely active in this field. You will always find him present at the local conferences, .NET Core meetups, and Microsoft events, or organizing these events himself. He has been a Microsoft MVP for Developer Technologies since 2015 and I have had the pleasure to develop and learn from him by implementing solutions using some of the early versions and pre-releases of ASP.NET Core or solutions such as ASP.NET Core health checks. He is always helping the .NET community by giving them a chance to speak at meetups and offering speakers a platform. I did my first .NET user group talk in Basel with his help and support.

Above all, he is always there as a friend and I can always ask for support or his help in solving problems and he helps make the .NET community in Switzerland so strong, helpful, and easy for others to join and improve.
