Ever since my college years at the student newspaper, I’ve been captivated by the publishing industry and its challenges. Workflows. Cross-platform publishing and web-to-print. Layout automation. Metadata management. Digitizing paper archives. Nerd stuff, but it fascinates me to no end.

I started out as a script kiddie when I was twelve or thirteen, hacking away many a late night at crummy PHP scripts. After graduating from college, I took the time to learn how to code properly, and picked up Python. Ended up as a freelancer mostly by accident.

I have a masters degree in philosophy. Most philosophy happens to be unscientific bullshit, but waiving that, it’s a riveting field of study. I love John Dewey.

I lived in London for a little while, but I’ve since moved back to beautiful Ghent (Belgium).

If you’re wondering how to pronounce my name, it’s probably because you can’t. That’s okay, I don’t mind.
