For over 3 years now, I’ve been employed as an “interaction developer” at Nascom, focused on – what else – developing for the Flash platform. Since some time, however, I’ve been growing increasingly restless. Introspection was unavoidable, leading to one resounding conclusion: it’s time for a change.
Fact is, what I found myself doing on a daily basis at work is not something I fully enjoy any more, and it was definitely not why I started programming a long time ago. This opposed to what I do in my free time, the result of which can be seen on this blog. Trying to do both has caused me doing little else than sit behind my computer screen, coding away for entire days. So, I’ve decided to leave Nascom to pursue a carreer as an independent developer starting mid-June. Focused on graphics programming, I can shift what I love to do to a healthier part of the day. Or at least, that’s the plan 
It was great to be a part of Nascom and work alongside so many talented people. Both from a human and a technical perspective, I still believe it’s the best digital agency in Belgium. Thanks for having me, guys!

Congratulations and good Luck!
I hope to see more blog posts in the future.. although it often turns out that you have less time as a freelancer than as an employee.

I wish you every success.
It’s exciting working as a freelancer, not sure it makes you work 9-5 though. In the summer it’s more like 7-11 in the morning, off to the beach, then 7-11 at night. Works for me
Good luck!

If you did all this in your spare time, it scares me of what you’re gonna do with all the free time coming your way… :S
Go get them!! Best of luck with your new modality.

having done the same lately, I dare say it was a good choice.
be aware thouhg, that from mid-june on, you’ll have to double(triple?) your work time, coffee consumption and dig in your skills so deep your brain will fry
be sure that your skills are in great demand, all the best for your last months at nascom.
