My name is Dirk van der Made and I live in the Netherlands (Amsterdam). I have studied management and philosophy and my fields of interest are just about anything new (which is why Wikipedia is so addictive to me), but especially science, music and travelling.
In 2015 I followed a one-year full time course in 3D modelling (scanning, designing, printing). My portfolio is on a subpage of this page. For this course I did an internship at Ultimaker, where I subsequently got a job as engineer at Special Projects.
I discovered Wikipedia in March 2005 and was instantly hooked - it became quite an addiction for about 2 years.
On this page are some quotes in frames, to the right. The yellow ones are from others and the purple ones are my own.
After a bit of fun, the following starts with my Wikipedia-contributions, but if you're into physics, don't miss the physics section. For a model I placed on YouMagine, I also wrote an explanation of how a Stirling engine works. This is my interpretation of what I read in the Wikipedia articles - I hope I got it right. :)
