Hey there 👋, bot or stranger, and thanks for visiting!
This website is a place for me to scratch the writer’s itch. I publish ideas and lessons I learn while pursuing the things that peak my curiosity. My writing spans topics like software, psychology, technology and productivity.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Information & Communication Technology (Cyber Security & Cloud) from HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht in The Netherlands. You can find my resume on LinkedIn or here.
After three years as a cybersecurity specialist, I have built a career that sits between technology and the organisation around it. My roots are technical and I still value that depth, but my work today spans the wider field of information security rather than any single corner of it. What I do best is translating between those two worlds, helping technical reality and business decisions meet in the middle.
