    </header>
    <p>
        Hi, I am <a href="mailto:arold.adam@gmail.com">Adam</a>. I consider myself a pragmatic software engineer and I
        also like to share my thoughts on programming, thus the name of this site:
    </p>
    <blockquote>
        <strong>Cogitate</strong><br />
        <em>verb</em>&nbsp;&nbsp;think deeply about something; meditate or reflect.
    </blockquote>

    <p>Do you have a business idea you'd like to validate? Do you need help choosing the appropriate technology for your
        project? Got bored of the technobabble and nonsense? I can find robust and simple end to end solutions to your
        problems. Things I can help with:
    </p>
    <ul>
        <li>Creating prototypes or MVPs</li>
        <li>Reviewing & analyzing your current architecture to help make it better</li>
        <li>Coaching your current programmers</li>
    </ul>

    <p>
