Writer, programmer, and incurable tinkerer.

Lives on a farm in a small village in the Himalayas, after a career spent working mostly on open source (especially Postgres). Struggles feebly under a constantly-growing heap of DIY projects. Tends to photograph insects and plants more often than other things.

Living in Spain with husband @jpoesen, 3 dogs and 3 cats.

I help people get a (Flemish) high school degree when the regular channels don't work for them.

I love animals (dogs in particular), nature, photography, and science. I'm crazy about books.

I'm a big fan of iNaturalist.

I spend most of my time reading, doing stuff in the garden, watching tv, and looking at plants and bugs.
