It is important to keep up to date with the latest knowledge. I think this is best achieved through group dynamics and passion. That is why web development appeals to me. There is always something new to learn. In addition, you are rewarded with visual results. This is a great motivation for me.

For about 10 years, I have been involved in web development. My starting point was to become a graphic designer, but I quickly shifted my focus to frontend development. I have occasionally worked with backend development, which has given me a broad understanding of web development.

When I need to not sit in front of a screen, I spend time with my wife, family and friends.
