# About Me
|

|

Hi! I’m Wouter Groeneveld, a software developer with a deep passion to inspire others on everything that drives me. That includes lots of goodness, but here are the key facts:
|

Hi, I’m Wouter Groeneveld, and I have a deep passion to inspire others on everything that drives me. I like to think of myself as one of those Rennaissance Men:
|
||||
|
||||
> Renaissance man (noun) - a person with many talents or areas of knowledge.
|
||||
|
||||
I used to be only good at programming because I thought, as a Master in IT, you specialize instead of generalize. But the more I did with computers, the more my hands itched to do something else. So nowadays I love to go wide and pass on that enthousiasm for knowledge on any level.
|
||||
|
||||
Those areas of knowledge include:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Software development
|
||||
|
||||
* Test your stuff before writing your code! I’m a heavy Test Driven Development (TDD) fanboy and I bark at those who don’t! I teach agile software engineering on multiple occasions, ranging from colleagues to schools.
|
||||
* I love dynamic languages. I also love converting the haters to the dark side. I teach javascript as a dynamic and functional language - it helps to create your own funky labs to people get more engaged.
|
||||
* Pair programming used as a tool to learn from each other and to improve code quality are two values I believe in.
|
||||
* Don’t limit yourself to your specialty. I like constantly improving my own (and others’) skills by trying out something new, reading, and writing.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Baking
|
||||
|
||||
* I hold a [professional bread baker's degree](/post/learning-to-become-a-baker/) so naturally I love to think of myself as a real baker.
|
||||
* My passion within baking is sourdough, spreading the word by organizing workshops to repopularize it's use.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Writing and philosophizing
|
||||
|
||||
* A [fountain pen addict](/post/fountain-pens-first-look/) and avid [journaler](/post/journaling-in-practice/)
|
||||
* This blog is the ideal base for writing down my thoughts about virtually anything, primarly intended to amuse myself and not others.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Drawing
|
||||
|
||||
* Starting out to [learn](/post/drawing-week-01) how to use ink other than writing.
