I started studying Applicatie Ontwikkeling at MBO College Hilversum in 2017. Two years in, I joined Simple Soft Products as an intern and stayed on part-time after, working on Angular apps for education, public services, and industrial software. I later went on to study Front-end Design & Development at Hogeschool van Amsterdam, graduating cum laude in 2024.
Toward the end of my degree I joined De Voorhoede in Amsterdam as an intern, and stayed on after the internship ended. There I work on accessible websites, design systems, and open source tooling. The stack varies per project, and I enjoy moving between them.
I believe in simple, standards-driven solutions. When picking tools, I aim for the least powerful one that does the job. My focus lies increasingly on digital sovereignty and an open, European web.
