About me

Hi, my name is Thomas. I'm a thirty year old software developer living in Gent, Belgium and currently working on the rocketship called Showpad. I have 8 years of professional experience designing, building and maintaining high quality software. Starting out with Java in 2011 at Acquia, I transitioned to Go in 2014, Kotlin in 2018 and the occasional frontend hacking. Besides the development work, I was part of the operational on-call rotations for the services that my team maintained. In the past couple of years, I had the privilege to coach a number of new and/or junior developers to get up to speed with our services and processes.
