About the Author
Bjorn lives in Belgium and is currently a DevOps engineer. He likes to explore fictional universes. Of particular interest is immersion and flow in games.
On a more technical note: Bjorn prefers gradual change, like fixing bugs and updating documentation, over starting from scratch. The non-capitalized agile approach, if you will. He derives great pleasure from speeding up applications, especially if the end users share his appreciation for the improvements.
After graduating from university, he worked for companies of various sizes, both in the private sector and in government. He developed device management software for networked video walls and custom tools for end-to-end processing of large amounts of geographical data. Such experiences fueled his desire to shrink the gaps between tech and business, and the one between formal education and the real world.
When forced to choose, he'd pick chocolate over beer. Or waffles. Everyone likes waffles. Right?
