Hey there, I'm Cas Altenburg,

My journey into tech took a unique path.
I discovered my passion for IT later in life, which I believe gives me a fresh perspective on technology. Initially, I was fascinated by chemistry, math and physics. After high school, I explored Chemical Engineering, following my chemistry teacher's guidance. After 8 months, I realized this wasn't the right fit for me and decided to pivot toward something more aligned with my interests.

This led me to work at a local hospitality company doing administrative tasks. While filling Google Sheets with website sales data, I saw an incredible opportunity to automate these repetitive processes. I reached out to an old classmate studying computer science for help.
Together, we automated an entire day's worth of work in just one day! I was absolutely fascinated by the power of code and immediately knew I wanted to pursue Software Engineering.

Since then I have been busy with developing myself as a software engineer, both with studying and working. Even though I'm interested all aspects of IT/Software Development, so far I gained most experience in frontend development. I love to work with Next.js more than I love to work with Angular, but in general I'm open for everything.

So far, everywhere I've worked, we've used Scrum, and I love the team dynamics that come with it. I wouldn't call myself the typical developer – I'm pretty outgoing and really enjoy working with others. It might sound cliché, but I genuinely thrive in a collaborative open environment.

One of my biggest dreams is to start my own business. Therefore I'm always looking for new ideas and opportunities, and I have a strong interest in the startup scene. To broaden my horizon, I want to gain experience in different fields and industries and learn as much as I can along the way

Beyond my work, I'm someone who values a balanced life. So next to living inside the computer there should also be room for social activities and sports. I'm a big fan of Ajax and enjoy spending quality time with friends and family.

Thank you for your interest and don't hesitate to contact me via the contact page.
