About me

Hi, I'm Rob.

Over the last years I have worked hard on becoming a great software developer. I've spent this time in and adjacent to the data sphere professionally, while developing a handful of different things in my free time. This website you're looking at in fact is a Go API serving HTML pages with HTMX, among other tasks like communicating with a Postgres database. If you're interested in reading some of my opinion pieces, you can find them on my fairly inactive Medium Blog.

I have also contributed to some open source projects that I have been using in my day to day. Most notably I'm maintainer of Pipx, and committed to DBT core and Airbyte.

Aside from my job, I'm a proud nerd, loving video games and collecting and building keyboards. I also keep myself healthy, playing Ping Pong, Spikeball and racing on Zwift.

Should you have any interesting proposals, feel free to reach out to me via my LinkedIn. Great to have you on my page!
