## Interests

In my spare time I work with electronics, hold an amateur radio licence and have the A1/A2/A3 drone qualifications. I develop open-source projects and created [antennacommander.com](https://antennacommander.com/), an open-source project for pointing and calibrating antennas and radio links. I also enjoy long walks in the woods looking for mushrooms and scuba diving; I have also worked as a windsurfing instructor.
