About Me
I'm a passionate full-stack developer who believes in the power of clean code and exceptional user experiences. My journey in programming started with Discord bots in 2016 and has evolved into a deep love for creating digital solutions that make a difference.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or challenging myself with precision games (like the stack game you might have seen). I believe that continuous learning and attention to detail are the keys to great software.
Based in Leiden, Netherlands, I work with clients worldwide to bring their digital visions to life. Whether it's a sleek portfolio website, a complex web application, or an innovative game, I approach every project with dedication and creativity.
