This is my professional side, but not every professional story needs to be formal.
These are a few moments from my working life, from early software engineering days in the 1990s to the present. Colleagues, offices, long days, strange setups, team outings, headshots, and the occasional reminder that a career is also made of people and stories.
Small note:
Not a résumé. More like a shoebox of professional memories.

The Early Years
First jobs, first teams, and the start of a professional life in software.
1999
Me as part of the “dream team” building the COOP customer loyalty system.
Some censoring is applied because over the years I’ve lost contact with my dream-colleagues.
1995
Hard at work designing and building a workflow system.
Will you look at that setup that I’m working with!
1993
Freshly graduated from my polytechnic university of applied sciences where I focused on the design and implementation of large software systems. This is me around 1993/1994, starting my profession career with IBM. Off to a good start, apparently. IBM even noted on the photo that I had no résumé yet.
