About Me!

When i'm not working, I enjoy learning new things. This includes in and out of the IT universe.

I am a guitar player, and I'm usualy eager to bring it on with me to party (and no, I won't play Wonderwall). I live in the countryside, so mountain biking is a new passion I'm discovering 🚲

I'm a boy scout chief in my hometown ⚜. I've been a part of this group for 12 years. This experience has taught me several things, such as teamwork, leadership and roasting sausages in the fire 👨🏾‍🤝‍👨🏼🍖
