My path into front-end started in 2017 with Applicatie Ontwikkeling at MBO College Hilversum. Two years in, an internship at Simple Soft Products turned into a part-time job building Angular apps for education, public services and industrial software. Next came Front-end Design & Development at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, which I completed cum laude in 2024.
An internship at De Voorhoede in Amsterdam, near the end of that degree, became a job. These days that means accessible websites, design systems and open source tooling, on a stack that changes with every project. That variety is what keeps it interesting.
Simple, standards-driven solutions come first, with the least powerful tool that does the job. Lately my focus has shifted towards digital sovereignty and an open, European web.
