01 / About

About me.

Background, what I work on, and what I do outside of it.

~/about

I started writing code in high school. I was reselling sneakers at the time and kept losing drops to bots, which got me curious about how they worked. Trying to keep up led me to Python, then to writing my own scripts, then to running a small business selling proxies, and eventually to enrolling at Hogeschool Rotterdam to study it properly.

Today I focus on web development and automation. I've built and shipped a Chrome extension to the Chrome Web Store, an internal Python toolkit that ran the back office of an e-commerce store, and a handful of school and side projects in C#, Java, and JavaScript. I worked at Thorix as a junior Mendix developer for a year, building real applications used by real people.

Outside of work I lift, read, watch anime, and study Japanese.
