Welcome to my personal web page!
This is my personal web page. Here I share a vast range of articles – from personal experiences and adventures, to tech articles and challenges I overcame. I believe that information and knowledge should be shared – thus I often share the way I overcame technical challenges in my day to day work.
If you want to understand more about me – feel free to visit the “About me” page, or if you are interested in my technical experience and expertise – you can do so in my “CV” page. If you want to get in touch – have a look at the footer.
Regarding this site – I like things simple, pragmatic and practical. That’s the way I work, the way I live and the way this site is built, and even though I can be considered a full stack developer – the design is kept to the simple.
