About
Backend depth. Frontend care. Product context throughout.
I started with independent client work in 2021 and now build production platforms across commerce, operations, and publishing for Dutch and Belgian clients.
My strongest work sits where business rules, integrations, search, and everyday user experience meet. I enjoy turning complicated systems into software that is easier to operate, easier to support, and ready to evolve.
