Hi, my name is Sander.
I'm a full-stack web developer and co-founder of Appgrade.
Bio
I'm Sander Ledegen, a Belgian developer who is professionally active in JavaScript, Angular and other new technologies the web is dealing with these days. Thankfully, I can alternate those front-end technologies with Node.js. This allows me to keep a nice front-end back-end balance, after having developed solely in Java for a few years.
When I'm not fiddling with computer bits, you may find me reading a book, hitting the gym or doing quality checks on the beer at various parties — a nice excuse, if I say so myself. I also like hiking, travelling, cooking or just going out to dinner if the latter doesn't turn out to be a great success.

Skills
“I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a developer I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career.”
