I'm currently studying at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. I'm majoring in theoretical physics with some computer science blended in.

I'm into everything computer and programming related, and I'm a bit of an environmentalist. I also like building stuff and hacking things together.

I practice photography as a hobby.
