_A storm approaching Waterval Boven_
Hello 👋
This is my public notes. A non-linear place full of my ideas, research and work that I have done.
My interests are quite varied and change as I discover new things or return to older projects and work. You can find my writings on software development, specifically databases and distributed systems, along with my adventures in Climbing, Photography and Pilates. I am also a homeschooling parent so I also like to add ideas and lessons I've learnt as I walk the journey of educating my children.
Click on any of the links on the sidebar to the left to get started of learn more about me on the [[About]] page.
