About me

Hello there! My name is Brian Oost, I'm a -year-old IT professional from The Netherlands. I'm a friendly and ambitious guy who is passionate about using technology to make a positive impact on society. As a computer systems developer, I have a keen interest in exploring the endless possibilities that technology has to offer.

When I'm not immersed in IT, I enjoy keeping my programming skills sharp by working with programming-languages such as C++ and PHP. I also love to unwind by playing computer games. Beyond my technical pursuits, I have a love for the outdoors, and you might find me going for walks in nature or spending time with my friends.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of being educated in different sectors, which has given me a broad knowledge of computer systems, including VMware and Hyper-V. I'm also skilled in programming languages such as C++, C#, and PHP, as well as IT business administration. I believe this wide range of technical experience has given me a unique perspective on how to approach different problems and find effective solutions.

I also navigate life with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Gastroparesis. These experiences have given me insights into resilience and adaptability. While they're a part of me, they don't define me. My focus remains on creating a positive impact through technology, and I believe my journey equips me with a distinct perspective on various challenges.
