About

Hobby, turned career

For 12+ years, I have built software in payments, public transport, sustainability, and marketing sectors.

I live in Kudelstaart with my girlfriend Lara and our three cats: Sammy, Dean, and Castiel. Outside work I enjoy the gym, co-op board games, and way too much The Office.
