about me
OK, a little about myself: The strange address in the address bar is some sort of acronym. It stands for Roel Meurders of the NetherLands.
Roel is my first name, Meurders the last name and the Netherlands, because I’m Dutch and if you have problems with pronouncing my name, you are probably not.
I was born on February the first (hence the logo) 1974 in the beautiful city of Maastricht all the way in the south of the Netherlands. At this moment I live a little more to the North in a village called Son together with Mimi, Bram, Emma and Mira. Son borders Eindhoven where I am a partner of Heliotrope BV.
At Heliotrope we develop Bits on the Run, the best online video management service in the world. I am not educated for my job and I’m actually an architect. It took me a while (because of various reasons), but I managed to finish my studies at Eindhoven University of Technology “cum laude”.
Somehow I was into video at a very young age because my parents even managed to capture my very first steps on Super 8 film.
