- I guess the most important thing that I want this page to say is that I am not one thing.

- <p className="text-white pb-10 text-l">I've worked a lot with .NET core in tandem with postgres

- Laravel is my former lover, but after discovering the power of C# in .NET core I can't help
- but love C# more.
- PHP will always have a special place in my heart though, and would still love working with
- it.
- React is my favorite frontend framework so far, however the new Vue
- composition API looks like it could steal React's thunder.

- My most pleasing development experience was probably deploying a kubernetes cluster on

- That piece of software is so magnificent I could honestly cry. If you ever want to chat

- I'm always available.
+ <p className="text-white pb-10 text-l">I've worked a lot with .NET, and it's been love at first sight.
+ The ability to write code that's rigid enough that autocomplete is faster than doc-reading,
+ while maintaining the flexibility to write versatile and highly reusable code is such a pleasure.
+ It also doesn't hurt that's there is a pretty defined standard as to what <i>good</i> code is and
+ being able to write it as much as I can.

- One of my more interesting obsessions would be Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. It is the most
- concrete
- translation of stoicism I've ever come across. Though I've shelved the release of
- Parley a bit, I still believe in
- bringing the therapy to more people. Feeling good should be for everyone. Hit me up
- if you're
- interested!
+ Furthermore I'm an expert in Docker, software architecture, Event Driven Design,
+ Domain Driven Design and Test Driven Design. Would love to start a crusade against code rot
+ and an abstractionist at heart.

- My latest venture is <a href="https://loopground.com" target="_blank">loopground</a>,
- and snugly fits into my philosophy of the 4 hour work week. Only four hours a week are spent
- on the dreadful bits, the rest can be categorized as hobby stuff. After a few intense months
- of building, it's now time to start generating revenue! Super stoked about this:)
+ In the future I would really like to setup an in person software school for the web. I've
+ experienced first hand what good and bad code can do to a company. Pair that with the
+ current dichotomy between the market need for highly skilled developers, and universities
+ (rightfully so) not filling that gap; I feel I could provide a lot of real value there.
