I am a computer programmer turned author and translator who lives in Toronto since 1996.
As a translator, I specialize in IT-subjects, financial subjects and scientific subjects, mainly medical and pharmaceutical subjects. I translate from/into English and Dutch/Flemish.
As an author, I have written five books and co-authored two. I am currently working on another project.
I love technology, not because it is "cool" but because of what it can do for me.
My current passion is Japanese culture and language. I sing enka, practice Japanese classical dancing (nihonbuyou), kitsuke (kimono dressing) and wasai (Japanese tailoring).
My website has not been updated for several years, due to lack of time, but I still do maintain a weblog for De Standaard, a major Dutch newspaper in Belgium (in Dutch). It can be
found at this link.
I am also the Toronto correspondent for Wereldnet, a program by the VPRO on Dutch state-owned radio.
This is a link to most of the programs in which I have appeared so far since August 2001 (in Dutch).
