Bio

I'm earning my peanut butter as a software developer, who has a background in psychology (studied it at university, but had a messy break-up from it before getting the diploma). Poking around in visual arts - mostly drawing - from my free time, but I tend to be all over the pace so I have to run ...

I'm passionate about

Jumping into unknown waters and not dying.

An idea worth spreading

Trying new things and self-development is often crushed with a rational "I'm not adept at this", even before actualy giving it a go.

Areas of expertise

Accountancy, Computer Game Design, Creative thinking, Datamining, Gaming industry, Movie Producing, Poetry/Creative Writing, Programming, User Interface

The TED story

Things you might not know

translating (or so I believe), keeping secrets, learning new things (fast)
