Hello! My name is Johan, and I am a network architect for an ISP with a passion for programming. While I have enjoyed my work as a network architect, I have discovered that my true passion lies in programming, and I am eager to transition my career in this direction.

In my current role, I have gained extensive experience in network design, implementation, and maintenance. However, I have also taken every opportunity to learn about programming languages and tools used in the industry. I have experience with languages such as Python, Java, and C, and I have used them to develop tools for network automation and management.

In my free time, I enjoy playing bass, taking hikes, and playing computer games. These activities allow me to recharge and provide a balance to my work life. I also use my free time to further my programming skills and learn new technologies.
