More information...

My name is Maarten Balliauw. I was born 21 december 1983, on a cold winter morning in Antwerp, Belgium. That's also the city where I studied Applied Informatics (at Karel de Grote hogeschool). On my blog, I will try to keep you up-to-date about my work and interests.

At this moment, I work at RealDolmen as a Technical Consultant, specialised in .NET (C#), ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, Windows Azure, PHP, and all Internet-related technologies.
