Hello!
My name is
Bastiaan Marinus
van de Weerd.
I am an iOS and backend developer based in Santiago in Chile, originally from Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
My formal education was in civil engineering, specializing in structural design, at the Delft University of Technology. My professional career, however, has been in software development.
