Ruud Wijffelaars... Student, Volunteer, Dreamer and Worker

Ruud was born in 1988 in Eindhoven and has been living in Nuenen (The Netherlands) most of his life.
After his Lower General Secondary Education in Eindhoven he went to on to study: ICT Management. During this study, it didn't take long for him to notice that merely programming wasn't going to be his life-long dream.

After graduating with a specialisation in Industrial Automation / Real Time Systems he looked around for a new study that matched his fascinations, which consisted mostly of: Technics and Psychology.

The answer was found at Avans University of Applied Siences where, he studied Communication and Multimedia Design with a minor in Information and Interaction. After this study the practical skills to prototype, conceptualize and create were quite well developed. However some theoretical background seemed to be still lacking.

After which he started his studies in Human Technology Interaction at Eindhoven University of Technology. During this study he participated in an international semester abroad in Tampere, Finland.

Next to his student life, Ruud is quite active in the scene of Scouting. As a scoutsleader, quartermaster and occasionally as an international volunteer.
