# About

![Thijn de Haas](/assets/images/thijn.webp)

I'm Thijn. Around the age of thirteen, I ordered a book by Mark Overmars, the creator of GameMaker, online, and started programming. Not much later I was running a small hosting service of my own. That taught me how code and servers fit together, and I still use that every day.

Since 2013 I've worked at [Wux](https://wux.nl), now as CTO. With the team I build applications in Laravel, search with Meilisearch and more and more things with AI. This is where I write down what I run into along the way.

Wux is part of [Adventure](https://adventure.nl), together with the companies below.

Outside work I swim, game, try new craft beers with friends and can talk about spaceflight for hours.
