I'm a computer engineer and a passionate teacher with over 25 years of programming experience. I have co-evolved together with various languages including Basic, Turbo Pascal and 8051 assembly to finally settle in the land of C++ (with occasional visits to Python, C# and a few others). I teach at a university of applied sciences in the Netherlands, where I try to convert new generations of programmers to use modern C++. My professional interests focus on the design and evolution of programming languages and paradigms. In my spare time I read, climb, hike, cycle or write code.
