About me

I spent 8 years working in procurement within the automotive industry after graduating in Mechanical Engineering, managing global supply chains and working closely with stakeholders to deliver complex projects. I’ve since transitioned into software engineering, where I now have a proven track record of building scalable applications using modern web technologies. I bring skills in communication, problem-solving and collaboration into my professional work, with a strong focus on maintainability, performance and user experience.

When I'm not coding, I'm often cooking and traveling with my partner. I thoroughly enjoy learning new things, currently I'm learning dutch.
