I enjoy full-stack work!

I've always been into developing software, hacking and designing things growing up. This grew into an interest for developing and designing websites, where I have found a good balance between designing and developing!

Throw me a problem and I'll be more than willing to bash my head against it for a realistic solution.

What do I do for fun?

I would usually spend my time running, cycling, swimming, catching up with mates, volunteering and cooking!

My next goal is to finish an IRONMAN 70.3 this year (2025), ouch!

... they are things I do to keep myself grounded and sane! 🍀🌿
