    </header>
    <p>
        Hi, I am <a href="mailto:adam@hexworks.org">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>
