Hi! I'm Niels,
I was born with a computer keyboard in my hands—an Amiga 500, to be precise. Ever since, I've been captivated by the endless possibilities of the digital world.
From there, I moved on to MS-DOS, where I taught myself to create batch files and simple programs in QBasic. This early exposure to programming sparked my passion for software development. During high school, I started writing programs in Visual Basic 6.0 and C++, and as the web began to flourish, I dove into PHP, HTML, and CSS. I built my first website in 2002 and have been immersing myself in web technologies ever since.
In 2003, I started using Linux, which deepened my understanding of how computers work. I learned to write shell scripts, configure servers, and manage databases, all of which have proved invaluable skills in my career as a software developer. By 2013, I switched to macOS, and it has been my go-to platform for professional work for over a decade. This diverse experience has allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of various operating systems and the unique challenges they present.
I've been working as a software developer for over 18 years now. While my expertise spans a wide range of technologies, I have a special fondness for web development. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience in writing and maintaining complex software projects. I pride myself on my ability to quickly learn new technologies and methodologies, and I excel at translating business needs into software requirements.
In 2021, I took the plunge and started my own company to help businesses with their software development needs. I'm always on the lookout for new challenges and opportunities to help businesses grow. Whether you need to build a new application from the ground up or improve an existing system, my goal is to deliver high-quality, efficient, and innovative software solutions tailored to your specific needs.
