I'm a passionate software engineer who likes to build rock-solid
|
|
|
|
|
back-end applications. Ruby on Rails has long been my weapon of
|
|
|
|
|
choice, but I also venture into java, golang, and python on occassion.

In my free time I like to tinker with electronics. This can range from
|
|
|
|
|
building my own electronics projects to repairing power amplifiers
|
|
|
|
|
and televisions. [You can read about specific projects here](/projects).

I also likes to shoot my [Hedeby Viking longbow](http://www.bow-international.com/features/traditional/viking-archery/)
|
|
|
|
|
at [Archery club Pieter Breugel](https://hbvpieterbreugel.nl). It's a
|
|
|
|
|
great way to unwind.

Mid-2019 I picked up Krav Maga. The lessons I follow are a mix between
|
|
|
|
|
self-defence techniques, fitness, and strength training. For me this hits
|
|
|
|
|
the sweet spot between physical activity and learning something useful. It's
|
|
|
|
|
even more fun when you can do it with friends.

Professionally I've been a software engineer at [Kabisa](https://www.kabisa.nl)
|
|
|
|
|
since 2007. I started out as a software engineer fresh out of college. Today I'm
|
|
|
|
|
at a senior level and responsible for leading teams, designing architecture, and
|
|
|
|
|
coaching people into a more agile approach to software development.

I started blogging in 1996. My site has gone through many iterations and some content
