Personal
I have recently picked up learning Spanish (again) on Duolingo. I’m currently on a 21-day streak. I feel that my past attempts have stuck, so the words are coming back quickly, but I’m still very much a beginner. Next steps include watching Spanish TV shows and movies with subtitles to get a feel for the language and pronunciation (currently, I sound like a French person).
Designing our new home. We recently had the opportunity to buy into an upcoming housing project. Those familiar with the Dutch housing market will understand the significance of this, and it's amazing that we’ll be getting a brand new home. The layout is predesigned and fixed, but everything else is carte blanche (think kitchen, bathrooms, and all the extra options you can purchase).
Training for a 14-kilometer trail run, the "Zevenheuveltrail," on the 21st of September. I’m currently managing to train 2 to 3 times a week and have stretched my ability to run 10 kilometers.
Professional
During the day, I work as a senior software engineer on the growth team at Vev. I am also a technical advisor to Fibby.
Experimenting with the crazy things you can do with "AI" and LLMs these days. Hopefully, I’ll be able to share some of my work soon.
Trying to overcome my perfectionism and finally design and build my own website. I recently switched from 11ty to Astro and added this /now page.
