About me
Bio
IT as a hobby, a study and a job. A passion for technology brought me to where I am today.
I've been interested in computers and technology from a young age. I started out building my own computers and teaching myself HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Later I turned that interest into a profession with the MBO ICT-Beheerder program (vocational IT administration), followed by a bachelor's in computer science. That gave me a broad knowledge of both hardware and software.
Outside of work I keep programming and developing myself. That's how Partio came about: together with Luke Hendriks (opens in a new tab), I designed and built the platform. I'm also learning about AI and machine learning, and how to apply them in my work and projects.
