About Me
Imagine trying to build a dynamic website with a team that barely speaks your language, sounds like a challenge, right? Well, I did exactly that during my internship in Italy, where I developed a site that visualized complex data for clients, overcoming language barriers and technical barriers alike.
I am Tom Kluskens, a student in Applied Information Technology at University of Applied Sciences and Arts Ghent, and I bring experience in backend development. I've built multiple web applications, worked with APIs, and delivered projects under tight deadlines. Whether it's JavaScript or Python, I adapt fast and learn even faster.
Beyond coding, I know how to collaborate and communicate—whether in a fast-paced team or across cultural differences. Years of playing basketball taught me teamwork, while my internship abroad sharpened my problem-solving skills in real projects.
My passion for technology extends beyond development—I've configured and maintain my own Ubuntu media server at home, and I enjoy reading comics in my free time. I love exploring both the practical and creative sides of computing.
In short, I bring the technical skills, adaptability, and teamwork needed to drive backend projects forward. If you're looking for a backend developer who delivers results and integrates seamlessly into your team, let's talk!
