About Leon Weemen

Leon Weemen sailing with his girlfriend.

I’m passionate software engineer who loves to make functional and usable software. Languages and technologies does not mean a lot to me, I care for the problem space where your clients are working. Understanding their domain and bring their business to the next level is my primary goal. I do speak fluent PHP and Python, some C#, Erlang and hopefully some Scala soon.

I love to learn and with every project I learn something new. This could be technology related, mentoring or about project control. Another and one of my favourite source of learning between projects are conferences. I visited different conferences europe and have many more on my bucket list. These will be all topics that I will be blogging about.

Aside from programming, I love to watch and play squash, watch football (Feyenoord, Premier league, Primera divsion) and drink a beer (in the sun)!
