Résumé for Jan Moesen

I am a 42-year-old all-round freelance shell nerd and web developer interested in tackling non-trivial problems.

I enjoy learning and teaching new tools and technologies. Feed me weird things.

Do not use this e-mail address or telephone number for marketing or third-party recruiting purposes. Once again, for the thicker recruitment agencies: do not contact me. Do not store my data in your databases. In fact, just close this page right now.
