Home Assistant
The house is automated to a degree that is hard to justify rationally. It is also where I try new things out without a client paying for the experiment.
Rasmus Hurup Hansen
Systems developer since 2004. Head of development and CTO for ten years. Based in Rudkøbing on the island of Langeland.
I am 40 and live in Rudkøbing on Langeland with my dog Alba. My daughter Freya is 14. I started writing code as a teenager and have made a living from it since 2004, first as an apprentice and later as a developer, team lead, CTO and head of development.
What I am best at is standing between engineering and the business. I can sit in a management meeting about what a problem costs and write the code afterwards. The best solutions I have been part of came from exactly that spot, where neither side got translated wrong along the way.
I am self-taught in most of what I use day to day, and I still learn fastest by building something real with it. That is also why I keep my own products running alongside client work.

Off hours
When I am not working
Electronics
ESP8266, DS18B20 and a soldering iron. There is something calming about debugging you can measure your way through with a multimeter instead of reading log files.
3D printing and prototypes
From cable holders to enclosures for the electronics projects that would otherwise sit loose on a shelf gathering dust.
Passionflowers
I collect passiflora and other tropical plants, and photograph them. They filled huruphansen.dk for years, long before this site was about work.
