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 artificial intelligent Chess and Go programs written in Java) and websites for my father and the local arthouse cinema.
