About me

My name is Joris, I was born in 1978 in a little place called Oud-Beijerland. I studied Physics and Media Technology at Leiden University. I have a keen interest in programming and have worked as a web-programmer before becoming a scientific programmer in the BioInformatics group. My primary task is to maintain the CSIDx application for the Cyttron project.
