Folkert van Heusden’s Summary

I'm a software developer, system administrator and network engineer who's very driven and very eager to learn. I have experience in developing software in C, C++, Java, PHP, Perl and shell-scripting on SUN-, IBM-, embedded (8051 with and without UNIX kernel) and x86 compatible hardware.
In my leisure time I continue to develop applications and tools (like my chess-playing program, my MSX emulator and my MultiTail application) and websites for my father and the arthouse cinema (where I'm also bartender on saturdays).
