Background
I entered the IT industry by following a vocational education focused on Windows system administration. I then pursued a bachelor's degree in Business IT & Management, but dropped out to pursue a career in software development.
Software development
I started by learning the basics of C# and .NET online directly from Microsoft. Blazor was just released at that time.
Building web apps with C# and using the immensely popular HTML and CSS markup languages interested me.
I already knew WordPress and decided to start freelancing. I built websites like this one for local businesses.
I did that for a while and nearing the end I started getting into game development with Unity and C#. After I learned that, I
built a multiplayer video game from an idea I had been sitting on for a while.
I'm proud to say the game worked well on a technical level, including real-time multiplayer features and real-world payments but the
project was a little too ambitious for my skillset at the time.
I decided to stop working on the game and made the decision to focus more on building business-related software and sharing my knowledge.
The present
Since then I have been busy with sharing my software development knowledge with others by publishing educational content on Udemy and YouTube.
Currently I work for a Dutch software company that creates the Relyon One field service software and have focused less on creating content.
