Fullstack Software Engineer

Home base

Who I am and how to reach me.

An enthusiastic programmer with more than 15 years of experience and a passion for technology. The kind who unscrewed his Game Boy at the age of 10 to find out what was inside. I get excited about experimenting with new technologies and applying them to everyday technical challenges.

Besides my love for tech, I'm a proud father of three sons. As an engineer I also have a feel for design and illustration.
