Pronouns: He/Him
I’m a rock-music-loving, father of three (2 beautiful sons, 1 daughter), with a passion for accessibility!
I started my journey in 1997 building my own (fantastic-looking) websites. In the era of frames, Geocities, font tags I had my share of Under construction-GIF’s.
I did my own sites publishing blog posts and image galleries hosted on our home server. But after an evil virus my baby brother accidentally downloaded all images and js-files got diminished. So I lost my passion for a few years and took it up again when I left my job and started studying to become an Interaction Designer at Nackademin.
I love my job and am especially passionate about accessibility. This is such a neglected area I can do real change in. I also love the frontend part since the result is graphic and instant. It’s also fun as it’s never constant and always a challenge.
So… I’ve tested 2000+ unique beers, went to school in New Zeeland, swum with a Dugong in Indonesia, now you know!
