About Me

I'm Tim, an IT specialist at a MBO school in the Netherlands, where I work on infrastructure, security, and automation. My work involves everything from managing Microsoft environments to developing AI-powered tools and evaluating emerging technologies. I enjoy the puzzle-solving aspect of systems administration, finding elegant solutions to complex technical challenges.

Beyond IT, I have wide-ranging interests. I'm fascinated by biblical scholarship and ancient history, approaching these texts as historical artifacts that reveal how humans have understood themselves and the world across millennia. I also find resonance with certain aspects of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, particularly ideas about interconnectedness and our shared experience with all living beings.

Music is an important part of my life. I play several instruments including ukulele, piano, and electronic wind instrument. I'm also passionate about listening to music, particularly on vintage analog equipment, there's something deeply satisfying about the tactile, physical nature of older audio technology.

I'm involved in permaculture and community food forest projects, which represent another way of thinking about systems, understanding how ecosystems function and how we might participate in them sustainably rather than trying to control them.

Whether it's technology, philosophy, sustainable agriculture, or music, I'm drawn to understanding how things actually work and finding connections between different domains. I write, think through ideas, and try to approach complexity with both intellectual rigor and humility.
