Taco Steemers
A personal blog.
☼ / ☾
Hey there! I am Taco Steemers. Welcome to my website. Occasionally I use it to share my thoughts as a software developer.
In the 10+ years that I have been developing software professionally, I have found that there is always more to learn. Professional software development is quite different from the hobbyist programming I used to do as a teenager. Luckily the initial spark of joy I found the first time I made the computer do something new is still there.
I am interested in web development work, either backend or full stack. Remote or in the Netherlands (GLD / OV).
