Aha, congratulations, you are about to enter the magical world that is my personal...
The name's Jonathan. I'm a 29 year old tech-savvy go-getter located in the north-western part of Belgium. Never drank coffee and not too keen on beer, but I am addicted to ridiculously spicy food. When I'm not messing about on a computer you'll usually find me snowboarding or watching a movie with the family. Went to school, graduated as a car technician, didn't like it, now I'm here! Currently freelancing as a backend developer, mostly in ecommerce, and working on something magical on the side.
- A2 Car Technician. I forgot how to do all these things over the years, kindly just ignore this passage.
- Almost got the NMCT higher education diploma, but then Prison Break season 2 happened.
- OS X, Linux, Windows (Please don't make me use Windows!)
- Design tools including Illustrator, Photoshop, Sketch, Affinity Designer
- Hardware; I can fix my own computer, and your neighbour's.
- Frontend
- Javascript (or should we call that ECMAScript now?), jQuery, VueJS
- HTML, XML, SVG
- CSS, SASS
- I use and love build tools like Gulp and Webpack.
- Backend
- PHP, Laravel (I loooove Laravel!!1!1), CodeIgniter
- Redis, Beanstalkd, ElasticSearch
- MySQL
- Fluent in Dutch and English, proficient in French. I like to believe I speak and understand Swedish, but I don't.
- I'm a good cook if I do say so myself, I hope you like it spicy!
- Got the entrepreneurial mindset, whatever that may be. I just really like working on things I believe are pushing the world forward.
- I'm a horrible investor, but I keep throwing money at blockchain projects because I support the decentralized movement, F yeah!
- Interested in some Game of Thrones fan theories?
I strongly disagree with the classical ways of doing businesses. If this bothers you I suggest you change your ways because you're probably missing out on a lot of great people. I'd rather prove my worth on the job instead of claiming I'm the third revelation on a piece of paper.
Either way, I'm a motivated dude, and I really want to change the world, even if only a little piece of it. I'd be happy to trial for any awesome project I encounter to see if we can make things work together!
