About Me

I am a creative programmer, driven by challenges and working with development. I love tackling new problems and quickly assimilate in new social situations. I am curious about everything technical and like to make technical projects and develop games. Aside from my technical interests, I like to play badminton, play theatre, sing choir songs, do sailing and be with my girlfriend. My ideal workplace is somewhere where my technical skills and my creativity come to their full potential, where I get to work with a group of dedicated people at the bleeding edge of technology.
