Most interesting story or factoid about you?
I started web development early in university and was fascinated by how everything worked. I was especially inspired by the creativity people achieved with Flash back then. Even though Flash eventually disappeared (Apple played a big role in that), it pushed the web forward and JavaScript stepped in to fill the gap and has been evolving ever since.
