Introduction
#

Welcome to my Website, where I showcase my knowledge of IT: servers, networking, web-hosting and programming and development. You can also find my CV, as my bachelor in Philosophy and strong experience working in a Restaurant and in several pedagogic positions, has helped build my resilience in projects, made me pragmatic in providing solutions, and helped me know how to explain basics of IT to people that have no idea of it’s importance.

Philosophy
#

During my 3 years at the Philosophy faculty, I’ve extended my experience by spending 9 months in Spain as well. My Academic years were at the University of Groningen. It’s Philosophy Faculty is well known for it’s strong acquaintance in Analytic Philosophy and growing in Philosophy of Ethics and Social Studies. In practice, it has helped me think step by step, build on my strong observatory skills to detect processes and structures within a company, and improve them. Together with my social experiences, I’ve learned to avoid too technical Jargon, be flexible and analytic at the same time.

Pedagogic
#

Even as a young adolescent, I’ve always had an affinity with children. Mostly one on one, or babysitting. I could get the most shy kids to shine in the spotlights. My patience and fantasy have helped me identify with the youngest children, allowing me to build a resilient foundation in respect and honesty. My philosophy is to guide children through the bürocratic, yet chaotic Lifestyle of State, Social Pressure, Media, IT and Family pressure by giving them a fair, strict, yet fun environment to develop. We are us, and we should stand together. Yet we, more than ever, should teach our children to put themselves first, learn when the outside world should be kept out and to love and identify with a collective can only be done when we truely love ourselves.

Gastronomy
#

Gastronomy has given me resilience and the reality check I needed, to realize that Life is about me and only me. More than other places, alcohol and drugs are abundant and you learn to say no more than ever. It also thought me to read people, see social structures develop in both bad and good ways. I’ve witnessed and participated in creating good and bad cultures too. I’ve lead teams in great directions and seen times where I learned, that sometimes you can’t do anything and you help more by leaning back and letting people handle things themselves.

IT
#

My fascination for computers and their impact on our day to day lives has pushed me to learn how it works, where their benefit lies, and what I should avoid. I’ve learned a great deal about Development, impact of Gaming and most importantly, how each person should learn for themselves, how it affects their life.

General Direction
#

I wish to further strengthen and combine these qualities. Continue to learn and observe the fast growing IT market, and stay pedagogically engaged to support and help those that can not keep up and are desperate to look for measures. No more than ever, children (and we ourselves) are exposed to everything, every day, without a filter, without a way to stay away. And we have no idea, how crazy it can get, or how crazy we can get.
