About Me

Hi! My name is Jonas

I am a student at Thomas More, specializing in Applied Computer Science with a focus on Application Management. Additionally, I work as a system administrator at the Medical Center for General Practitioners, where I am involved daily in setting up and supporting a wide range of hardware and software.

My Journey

Before switching careers, I worked in professional kitchens. I spent years honing my craft, working as a sous chef in Dubai, gaining experience in several fine dining establishments, and even in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Eventually, I worked my way up to become the head chef of a small restaurant — a role I loved for its intensity and creativity.

Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and like many in hospitality, I suddenly had more free time than I was used to. During that unexpected pause, I revisited a long-time passion of mine: computers and the internet.

I decided to explore whether tech could be more than a hobby, and enrolled in the Bachelor’s program at Thomas More. Fast-forward to today — I’ve fully embraced this new path, and I haven’t looked back since.

My Hobbies

  • Gaming – I’m into story-rich games and anything that gets my competitive side going.

  • Guitar - When I need to clear my mind after a coding session, I like to jam on my guitar. Depending on the mood, I’ll play anything from Creedence Clearwater Revival to Metallica — it’s my way of unwinding and getting into a different rhythm.

  • Cooking & Baking – Even though I left the professional kitchen behind, I still love cooking and baking for friends and family. There’s nothing like sharing a homemade meal or dessert to bring people together.

  • Gardening – I enjoy getting my hands in the dirt and growing my own food. There’s something incredibly satisfying about harvesting ingredients from the garden and turning them into a fresh meal.
