About

My name is Quint Guvernator. I live and work in Amsterdam as a hashtag-fullstack web something-or-other. I make chipmusic, usually for and with the original 1989 Nintendo Game Boy. My Dutch is garbage, please help me make it less so.

Revspace changed my life. I was an exchange student at Universiteit Leiden from August to December 2015. I spent much of that time at Revspace, and thanks to lots of help by some great participants, I learned a ton about hardware—a field I had never really touched before. I went on to learn a lot more and got involved in US hackerspaces.

It's nice to be back!
