Interests

Outside of my professional work, I have a strong passion for technology and creative projects that allow me to explore both the digital and physical worlds. I run a home lab, where I host personal services, experiment with Linux environments, and test new cybersecurity techniques. This hands-on experience helps me deepen my understanding of hosting, infrastructure management, and security best practices. In addition, I enjoy 3D printing and laser engraving, which allows me to bring ideas to life in a tangible way, whether it’s creating custom objects or solving daily problems.

In my downtime, I enjoy gaming, particularly strategic games, those with a compelling storyline, and co-op games that I can enjoy with friends. These types of games not only entertain but also enhance my multitasking and develop problem-solving skills.

I am also passionate about photography, with a particular interest in architecture and nature. I enjoy capturing anything that sparks my interest, or just what looks interesting. The best photos I like to show on photography.beekmans.dev, where I share my work with friends and family.
