🃏Computer science has been my biggest passion ever since my childhood. Since 2000 I not only work as an IT expert and software developer, I also pass on my experience and knowledge as a trainer since 2007.
Starting a couple of years ago, three other hobbies also took on a bigger role: writing, story-telling and magic.
On these pages you can find examples of my works and projects.
