Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

First and foremost, I’m sorry It’s been quiet such a long time. It’s been over 2 years since my last update and man, did things changed in the mean time.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, I’ve been blessed with the birth of my son, a feisty little fellow who conquered my heart the moment he was born. \u00a0A bit less important though still one of the milestones in the last few years, was my marriage to the love of my life (why else would you marry<\/em> \ud83d\ude1b )<\/p>\n

Furthermore, I’ve had quite a tumultuous period the last few years. I’ve switched jobs\u00a0three times, once because I was hunted for a so-called senior developer\/team-lead function, which when-push-came-to-shove\u00a0wasn’t even close to senior, and the team-lead aspect wasn’t even in the picture, the second time was a senior developer function at another company, where I’ve did my utmost best to keep the business running (which resulted in me getting burned-out). After recovering from this burn-out I wasn’t able to function properly anymore at the same company, which eventually led me to a\u00a0developer function at my current employer (where I’m really\u00a0satisfied to be honest).<\/p>\n

I’ve also acquired a few more Microsoft certificates and not so long ago I’ve passed the Zend Certified PHP Engineer exam with flying colors \ud83d\ude42 which means I’m also a ZCE \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Well that’s the last few years in a (seemingly very small) nutshell..<\/p>\n

I’m not making any promises, but I’ll try to blog more frequently from now on…<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
