Frans tagged me which leaves me with no other choice then to share 5 things you probably shouldn’t know about me.
- I studied Mechanical Engineering for roughly 9 years and ended up programming Robotics for the 8051 microcontroller. This made me decide to study Computer Science at the Fontys University for another 4 years. During that time, as a partner, helped starting up a successful web design & marketing communications company and was responsible for the Technology department. After achieving my BSc and running this company for 5 years I decided it was time for another challenge. I now work as a consultant doing all sorts of cool stuff.
- Before my career in the IT I’ve spend most of my time cycling. While I’ve done this for over 12 years and became pretty good at it sickness and injuries made me toss in the towel eventually.
- Ever since I received my NES gaming was one of my favorite activities. Back in 1998, November 19th Valve’s Half Life took control of my life. Together with a very talented team I worked as a programmer on the popular Hostile Intent modification. We delivered 4 beta’s in 3 years and spend long nights on IRC, ICQ and our development servers for play testing. I now own an Xbox 360 and a powerful PC and nowadays fall into the category “casual gamer”.
- I drink girl coffee (or better in Dutch “meiden koffie”) with lots of milk/cappuccino as opposed to black coffee.
- I’m a loner with a competitive character.
