Hey! I'm Stijn Vergauwen

I'm 20 years old and live in North Brabant, the Netherlands.

Portrait image of me

I'm an introvert in the sense that I don't care for most standard, surface-level interactions.
Instead, be honest, be yourself, go deep on topics, make real connections, and build something truly valuable, doesn't that sound a lot more exiting?
To me it absolutely does, these idea's have shaped my perspective to a point I don't get how most people can live the way they do. Our systems are outdated, they are not built for the freedom of creating and sharing information we now have.
I'm a starting software developer ultimately wanting to realize our potential to work together and create better systems, call it naive or dreaming, most limitations are created by humans, not nature.

"The only way to make your present better is by making your future bigger." - Dan Sullivan.

Now to pull things back to earth again, I've got clear goals but really still trying to figure things out.
I had trouble with the conventional education system, struggled with depression, and didn't know if I could even reach anything for quite some time.
But I'm very happy with where I am now, looking back I think these periods also allowed me to think deeply about life in a way most never do.

That about sums it up, I might add more things like my interests / hobbies later, but for now,
thanks for stopping by!
