About me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From 2013 until 2018, I studied at the Fontys Hogescholen based in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. Here, I learned everything about webdesign and webdevelopment. I also learned to work with different front- and back-end frameworks, like Angular and Laravel. During this period, I also followed a minor course in English Language and Culture. I graduated in 2018 as a full-stack webdeveloper after finishing my research paper about workflow designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some years of working as a webdeveloper, I decided to pursue another long-cherished dream of mine: to study at the Rockacademie in Tilburg. I studied there from 2020 until 2024. In 2024, I succesfully graduated as an audio engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So next to being a professional webdeveloper, I’m also active in my spare time as a freelance musician and producer\/audio engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy turning ideas into websites that look great and work smoothly. From the first design to the final line of code, I like to think along about both the look and the technique, so the end result fits your needs exactly. Clean, clear and with an eye for detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI supports my work, but the creativity and decisions stay mine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
