Hi, I’m Hans, a .NET developer from the Netherlands with over six years of experience, mostly working with cloud technologies. I’m certified in Azure (AZ-104, AZ-204, AZ-400, AZ-305, AI-102), CKAD, and PSM1, and I’m also a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), so I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
I’m interested in just about every new tech that comes my way, which keeps me constantly learning. It’s a bit of a blessing and a curse, but it keeps things interesting.
Outside of work, I’m really into strength training and try to hit the gym four times a week. It helps me stay focused and balanced. On this blog, I’ll be sharing my thoughts, tips, and lessons learned from my work in .NET and Azure, and hopefully, it’ll be useful to anyone on a similar path.
Nothing here yet.
