Purpose

A developer with an ambition of using skills and passion for programming to create opportunities and help end users to achieve their goals.

Summary

I am…
Dutch; born and raised in The Hague and a self-taught programmer with 19+ years of programming and website development experience. I'm always on the look for new technologies in order to work smart, get more done and keep things simple. I'm a highly adaptable, flexible and dedicated professional. I embrace teamwork, but also enjoy finding solutions independently.

My strongest skills and how I learned them…
I hold the belief that using just JavaScript (HTML & (S)CSS/LESS) to build frontend and backend for web is the way forward.

  • Javascript Proficient: 19+ years
  • VueJS Proficient: 10+ years
  • NodeJS Proficient: 10+ years
  • HTML5 Proficient: 11+ years (General HTML/CSS: 19+ years)

Seeking New Opportunities

I'm pursuing a Frontend Developer position within a medium-sized company where I can leverage my extensive Vue.js and JavaScript expertise. With a hybrid working arrangement (preferably 3 days remote, but flexible), I'm eager to contribute to meaningful projects and create robust frontend solutions. My full-stack capabilities include Node.js (Nuxt, Express/Fastify). And yes, fueling innovation with free, healthy lunches is always a plus! 😊

One fact (outside of work) about me…
I'm passionate about staying updated on the latest frontend trends and technologies. I enjoy experimenting with new tools and approaches to enhance user experiences. Also, I like swinging on the Latin beats - performing in bachata shows and dancing kizomba!

Additional information
I'm based in Rijswijk (ZH) and prefer roles within a 1-hour commute. Remote work is ideal for positions located further away.
