Hi, my name is Jeffrey Ernst and I welcome you to CreativeFLUX where I present myself, showcase some of my work and offer current and (potential) future clients an insight in what they can expect when working with me.

Originally trained as a biologist (Msc. in 2010), I found software as a profession at a later age while doing research and using programming to help me automate processes in data analytics (2014). Eventually this side-activity took hold of me and became a passion. It is from there that I chose to pursue a career in software and I haven't looked back since.

For me programming is a mechanism of creative expression which I like to do besides painting and illustration. I like to work on 'beautifull' products that catch the users attention either by the direct satisfaction it brings them (like games and AV apps) or by making life a little easier through great UX, better technology or availability. I enjoy working with new technology and experimenting with technologies and frameworks that are on the bleeding edge. It is through this I've build a broad knowledge base with back-end technologies like: Java 7/8 J2EE, Node Express, Node Restify, Python Django and Python Flask as well as Front-end technologies like: VueJS, AngularJS, ReactJS, Vanilla ES2015+.

As a person I enjoy collaboration and teamwork, thinking things through and planning out a task before hand. I am known for my large base of Trivia knowledge, ability of being a bridge between bussiness and technology, and my oversight. This last quality is what usually leads to me having some kind of lead role in a team or at least being included in the more complex stories with regards to architecture.

Privately I have twin daughter and son. I enjoy (board)games with friends, painting, pursuing historical or scientific knowledge. Building things, scuba diving and if there is still time left in a day I enjoy a good movie.
