Software Development

I am a backend developer from Belgium. My first language is C#. Mostly working on the .net tech stack. Powershell is the script language that I am most familiar with. I love automating stuff. Tools you work with should be tools that you like to work with :). Loving the devops scene as well. At the moment, my platform of choice is Azure, but looking at GitHub these days as well. I do have some experience with typescript. but that is not my strongest suit. Working with Rider and Resharper, so thanks Jetbrains for making great tools :)

> The 2FA protection they used, asked for approval. The senior developer approved the login, so the hackers were able to access the vault.

Jeepers. I didn't read up on the breach at LastPass before. That's crazy.
