Biography

I started coding around the year 2000. For long I thought that profesionalism had something to do with years of experience. (That’s why I dare to print a year!) But after I red a book by Robert C. Martin, ‘The Clean Coder’, I started to see things differently. Professionalism is more about keeping promises and mature quality of work then about a time based measure of experience in a specific technology.
