Bram.us is the technical/geeky weblog of Bram Van Damme (nicknamed Bramus!), a 33 year old geezer raised in Deinze and living in Vinkt (Belgium) with his son Finn and his daughter Tila.
Professionally — after having worked as a web developer for several years at several web agencies — Bramus became a Lecturer Web Technologies within the study programme Professional Bachelor ICT.
Having worked in education for seven years he – in 2015 – moved on to become part of the team at Small Town Heroes (Ghent, Belgium). Bramus also freelances using the 3RDS moniker.
In his spare time Bramus likes to go Scuba Diving. In 2016 he became a certified PADI Master Scuba Diver. Fewer than two percent of divers ever achieve this rating. Currently he’s studying to become a PADI Divemaster.
