My name is Aryan, I am a software developer and educator with a passion for creating beautiful, efficient, and reliable software. I was born in a small village in the north of the Netherlands in 1977. From a young age, I was fascinated by technology, especially computers. When I was 9 years old, I persuaded my parents to buy our first computer, a Commodore 16, which sparked my love for programming. I spent days playing and creating code in Basic. I was always interested in how to make programs more efficient and organized, so they would be easier to modify. At the age of 10, I was already thinking about separating data and business logic! My passion for programming led me to study computer science at university, where I delved deeper into the world of programming and earned a PhD in computer graphics. I worked at the university for 10 years, teaching computer science to students and developing effective methods for easy comprehension of information. After a while, I realized that I wanted to apply my skills in practice. I left the university and founded a software company with a friend, developing several products used by thousands of people. This gave me valuable lessons in creating scalable software and flexible architectures that allow for quick adaptation.
