About

Once upon a time...

...there was a 27 years old man from The Netherlands who was determined to undo the world of all bugs. 🪲

He graduated with honors from the 🎓 HBO bachelor software engineering from the Avans University in 2018. During his education, he focused on web and mobile development. Also, he did a minor in 'Meaningful Data Design'.

He has experience with 🔊 audio-video hardware and production of large business meetings. He assisted with developing and testing new innovative set-ups to improve the collaboration at the Dutch administration of justice.

Now, he's working as a 🧩 senior PHP Backend Developer at Bluebird Day. He fights all bugs found in e-commerce platforms like Magento 2, Shopware 6 and Drupal 10, and implements new custom features. Also, he specializes in integration platforms which connect platforms, like SAP, Pimcore and others, to the e-commerce solution.

As the team-lead, helping 🤝 others developing themselves is what brings him joy.

His other interests are 🚵 mountain biking through the mud, 🎸 playing guitar, 🏔 Scandinavia's nature and 🇯🇵🚗 JDM cars.
