This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one too!

Living in The Hague, focussing less on work and taking time to enjoy my hobbies. Making music, drumming, reading, playing Taiko, learning a lot about music production. Plans for moving to Norway are becoming more concrete, probably going to spend more time there starting from June. Work-wise I am focussing on coaching developers, this is my 15th year of freelancing and I love to support others with all the knowledge I have gained.
