I am a software developer with a strong passion for open source software, Mozilla and Wikipedia. On the Internet I use the nickname Smile4ever.
I was born on April 16, 1995 in Sint-Niklaas, a city in East Flanders (Belgium). Currently I live in Antwerp. At school, I studied applied computer science between September 2013 and June 2016. I use Manjaro Linux daily.
Apart from my mother tongue Dutch, I also speak and/or understand English, French, German and Afrikaans and in lesser extent also Spanish and Esperanto. In my free time, I like editing the Dutch Wikipedia (Smile4ever), writing software, designing websites and listening to music.
