In daily life I work as Engineer at SPIE Industry in The Netherlands namely at the chemical factory DOW in Terneuzen.
Summary on how I got involved with Kodi (XBMC at the time):
Around 2011 I was searching for a better way of organising my DVDs and other videos then playing them back in MPC-HC. After some searching i came across something called XBMC which seemed like the ideal solution. After becoming somewhat active on the forum and learning some python i started sending some patches to a script called "extrafanart downloader". After the original authors left I took over and added some extras which has now become "Artwork Downloader". Due to the work done and helping out other users I got an invitation to join the XBMC team at the end of 2011 which i honourably accepted. Several years later I'm now the release/project manager and also member of the board of the XBMC Foundation.
