Short bio

Olivier Liechti discovered the Java platform at the University of Fribourg in  
1995, while he was implementing a graph editor in C++ (on top of the ET++ 
framework). Since then, he has worked extensively with Java technologies both on 
client-side, server-side and mobile projects.

After graduating from Fribourg University, Olivier has spent four years in 
Japan. Doing research in the areas of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) 
and ubiquitous computing, he was focusing on human-computer interaction issues. 
Olivier also worked for six years as a software architect for Sun Microsystems. 
At Sun, he was mostly engaged in large enterprise architecture and integration 
projects. 

Since 2007, Olivier is a Professor at the University of Applied Sciences, 
Western Switzerland (HEIG-VD). He makes extensive use of the NetBeans 
Application Platform in his R&D projects. Olivier holds a Masters degree in 
Computer Science from Fribourg University (Switzerland) and a Ph.D. from 
Hiroshima University (Japan).
