About me

Curious, independent and solution-driven.

I'm an enthusiastic software developer with a passion for both front-end and back-end development. I enjoy working with modern JavaScript frameworks like Next.js and React, with a strong preference for TypeScript for its clarity and reliability.

At work I build custom web services in Java on the Liferay platform — the logic and integrations behind the scenes. Alongside that I design and build complete interfaces, like the website for my orchestra OrVeO. I'm always looking for ways to build user-friendly, efficient applications.

OrVeO

Complete live website for Orkest Vecht en Omstreken — designed and built entirely by me. From concept to launch.

I've been a member of this orchestra for over a year and handled the entire website: the design, the front-end and the engineering behind it. A dynamic concert agenda, members portal with authentication, ticket sales, sponsors and a light/dark theme. The site is live and in active use.

Bestemming X

Interactive web app for the RTL4 TV show Bestemming X, built during my internship at Weknow Studio.

I worked mainly on the front-end: the interactive interface that lets viewers play along live with the broadcast. Points, positions and challenges stay in sync with the RTL 4 episode. Here I dug into real-time interfaces and building a smooth experience for thousands of simultaneous players.
