Glad you're here.
Feel free to look around. You'll find a few things I've worked on – and a little about the person behind them.
About
I'm a web and full-stack developer with an academic background in Information System Engineering. I enjoy working on projects where I can look beyond individual features and focus on the bigger picture – from the initial idea all the way to the finished application.
And when I'm not at my computer, you'll probably find me out fishing, trying something new in the kitchen, or spending time with friends and family.
