My interest in technology began when I sat behind a computer as a child to play “Snake. Thanks to my father, I not only started trying out games, but also building and programming some on my own. When I was eight years old, I even created my first website-at the time about Popeye and dinosaurs. Starting in 1999, I dove deeper into PHP and MySQL, and discovered my real passion for web development and technical solutions. While I can appreciate the visual aspect of websites, my heart is mostly on the “back end”: building robust systems, API links and custom applications. This eventually led to the founding of Webswing internet solutions, where I work as an independent developer helping organizations with all their back-end challenges. Besides my work I can often be found on the field hockey field, on my bike or in the gym. And on weekends I like to grab a beer or take my camera out to capture beautiful moments. That variety keeps me sharp and inspired-both in my spare time and in my work.
