Hi I’m Johan Van Steenbrugghe

Software Developer Student of life
SAY HI

ABOUT ME

From the very beginning I was facinated with computers. Spending days learning how to install an operating system or creating a small command-line program has always been natural to me, which made it an easy decision to pursue a career in IT

Studying really made it clear to me that I enjoy writing software. I especially like solving programming puzzles, whether it’s about figuring out the best architectural design or uncovering a bug that’s deeply rooted into the program.

Having the competence and continuous desire to learn are essential tools in becoming a sought after talent and more importantly a well-rounded individual, that’s why I always have an immense desire to extend my scope of knowledge, abilities, improve on my habits, etc…
