About
A front-end developer, but mostly an enthusiast of all things web, living in Turnhout, Belgium.
I'm a proud father of Adriaan & Floris, 2 unbelievably smart boys. I'm incredibly humbled to share my life with Sabine, my bestie, and partner-in-crime.
I have a profound love for loud and emotive music. In 2017, I listened to approximately 51.000 minutes of music. To blow off some steam, me and my buddies in ROYCE rock out the local and non-local watering holes from time to time.
I have a Professional Bachelor Multimedia and Communication Technology, specialized in Audiovisual productions. However, I quickly refactored myself to web-development due to a much better work-life relationship at the time.
All the knowledge I currently possess is self-taught through experience, tutorials and occasional Google, StackOverflow and not-so-occasional Open Source Software.
Ambition
I want to be part of a team with clear vision and resources to build an awesome product. Something that is used on a day-to-day basis. Something where documentation and automation take away stress and frustration. Where great innovations are quickly evaluated and implemented if proven significant. Where motivation flourishes. Where we can build a positive future by giving back to our community.
