This is my Now page where I share what I’m up to right now. Consider getting your own.

Personal
#

  • Busy with the family. Raising two kids is a full-time job. Luckily, they’re growing well, doing great in school and both are now playing volleyball twice a week. Both are also in Scouting, where I’ve volunteered to help out occasionally.
  • Still avidly playing bass guitar - not-in-a-band - with Rocksmith 2014 (I refuse to pay a subscription for RS+ and I’d miss all my CDLC). Currently trying to level up to play Hysteria - Muse at full speed.
  • My Volkswagen Golf 3 Cabrio project is still going, but slowly. There are still some minor things to fix, but all major issues have been resolved. Weather permitting, you can find me cruising around town with the top down. Due to reasons we had to look for a new place to work on cars, we’ll probably be moving soon.

  • I’ve been working at Kabisa since 2007 as a Software Engineer. As part of my interest in software craftsmanship, I’ve been working on a book about how to become a better senior software engineer. Stay tuned!
  • My current project is a legacy Python/Django app with a Vue front-end. I’m really looking forward to working on a Rails project again. Rails 8 has many great new features I’d lke to try out. Maybe it’s time for another side project?
