## About Ariejan
Ariejan is a passionate software engineer who likes to build rock-solid
back-end applications.
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 his free time Ariejan likes to tinker with electronics by
repairing “vintage” audio equipment or designing, programming, and manufacturing small
batch electronics projects.
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).
He also likes to shoot (traditional wooden) arrows with his [Hedeby Viking longbow](http://www.bow-international.com/features/traditional/viking-archery/) at [Archery club Pieter Breugel](https://hbvpieterbreugel.nl).
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.
Since 2007 Ariejan has been working at [Kabisa](https://www.kabisa.nl), the leading
Ruby on Rails consultancy firm in The Netherlands.
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.
