And I have a deep passion to inspire others on everything that drives me. I like to think of myself as one of those _polymaths_ or 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.
+Professionally, I am a PhD researcher at the [Faculty of Engineering Technology](https://iiw.kuleuven.be/english), KU Leuven. I have been an experienced software engineer for 11 years before that, taking on various roles from agile coaching to technical lead. I am not only interested in technical software development, but also in what happens at non-cognitive, human level when developing software together.

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.
