Hi! My name is Jef Roosens, and I'm a Belgian student, currently pursuing a
degree in Computer Science at the University of Ghent!

That intro probably already told you that I'm a nerd, which I can't deny. I
have a passion for programming & have been doing so since I was 12 or
something. I prefer working with compiled languages (with Rust being my
favorite <3).

Besides my tech interests, I really love seeing my friends & going out. I've
got a taste for whisky, with a slowly growing collection to show for it ;p I
used to be a big fan of video games, but nowadays I mostly play Minecraft when
I find the time. Besides playing, I also follow the Trackmania Esports scene!

I've always had a passion for music. I'm one of those people that listen to
music multiple hours a day, during studying, cooking, anything really. I find
it really calms the chaos in my head, allowing me to think more clearly. It's
also a great way to improve your mood, or just to help you process your current
thoughts.
