Hi again, on this page, I am going to give you a more detailed look at who I am and why I chose this field of study in the first place. It will even include some titbits about myself, which will hopefully give a better view about who I am as a person. So, if you are interested, keep on reading.
I am Sean-Luca Jansen, an IT'er who was born in 2006 in Turnhout. Currently am studying applied computer science in Thomas More Geel.
I am a person who really likes to know how something works when using it. If I don't know it yet, I would look it up because a tool is only useful if you know how to use it. Also, as a person, I really like to look at the details of things. Every detail matters because the more you look at the details the more you show that you care about what you make. When I start coding an application, it should not be satisfactory it should be great. Every aspect should be made as good as it can be in the time I am able to spend on it.
To conclude my brief intro, I am a motivated IT student who builds applications that show the care I put in it.
To be totally fair with you, when I was a child, I did not think to myself that I would do IT when I grew up. Actually, I completely did not know what I wanted to do when I graduated high school. When I was purposed options to go study in Thomas More, IT just looked the most appealing.
When first starting the course, it was immediately obvious that I was entirely new to anything IT related, I didn't even know how to use Paint. But throughout this course, I did notice that I did start to understand how things worked. I saw that programming languages are logically built up, and I love structure and saw that designing things with your own two hands can be really fun (especially front-end design).
Currently, I feel more comfortable around programming languages that I have already interacted with like Python or Java. Although I don't think that I am currently a great coder (or even a good one), I do think that I learn something every day and can improve because, is that not why we go to school?
I don't really have many hobby's, but for the one hobby I do have it is a great one. During every other weekend, on a Saturday, I go to the Scouts Akabe. It's a Scouts for people who have a mental or physical disability (I have ASS, so I also am included).
Going to Akabe is made fun by the scout leaders who take the time to listen to their members and the low pressure activities. If I go to Akabe, I don't need to worry about being the best at communicating, which I am not good at but am working on, and can enjoy all the activities from 2 to 5 o'clock without stress.
Before this, I went to a more "normal" (Take these quotes seriously because with or without disability you are normal) scouts, but it was far less fun. Akabe provided me the chance to do scouts activities like going to camp while still providing enough guidance to make the experience fun for me.
Even though it is a hobby I only do once every other week, it is rewarding experience and helps with not only working for school the entire day
It might be a cliché that IT students really like video games. How I differ is more how I interact with them. Instead of playing a ton of games, I generally prefer to know a lot about some of them. Some examples of games I really like are Pokémon and Deltarune.
Did you know that I know all 1025 (add the time of making this website) by heart. If you would show me a picture of a specific pokemon I should be able to correctly name it. Probably what makes these creatures so interesting for me is that they are not just animals with a specific element but creatures that draw their inspiration from the real world.
What interests me so much about Deltarune is the level of detail that gets put in the game. I once had a moment in the game where I forgot there was a sprint option (because the game releases in chapters with some wait time) and the game called me out for it. Also the music in the game is great. To show it here are some tracks I like in no particular order.
