As Tim started his study of Electro Technical Engineering in 1993, he also got into contact with the internet and especially with the MUD (Multi User Dungeon) community. From that point on his interest in Software Development grew, and after a couple of years developing Software in C/C++ and Delphi for several companies, he became interested in Java.

As he started working for a Dutch company named SDB, he quickly got his Sun Java certification and from that point on has been developing Java Client/Server and J2EE inter- and intranet applications for several large companies and multinationals.

Since quite some time now his interest is drawn by the Open Source community and has been preaching the use of Open Source products to everyone who wants to listen.
