Imar Spaanjaars graduated in Leisure Management but
accidentally ended up in IT. After working for a large corporation
and doing some free-lance work, he is now working at the software
development department of a small IT company in the Netherlands
specializing in Internet and Intranet applications. As a software
architect and lead developer, he's responsible for designing,
building and implementing medium to large scaled Intranets for
Dutch companies.
When he is not busy building web sites, or teaching other people
how to do so, he likes to read as much as possible about new
developments in software land. He also enjoys playing 3D shoot 'em
up games if he's got the time for it.
