Passionate about crafting digital experiences
I'm a software engineer based in the Netherlands, specializing in building exceptional web and mobile applications. With deep expertise in the React ecosystem, I create performant, accessible, and visually stunning solutions.
What sets me apart in 2026 is how I've embraced AI as a core part of my development workflow. I don't just code—I orchestrate intelligent development pipelines where AI tools amplify every stage of the process, from ideation to deployment.
My philosophy is simple: the best engineers aren't being replaced by AI—they're becoming exponentially more productive with it. I bring both deep technical skill and AI fluency to every project I touch.

Ideation & Architecture
I use AI to brainstorm solutions, evaluate trade-offs, and design system architectures before writing a single line of code.
AI-Paired Development
Every coding session is a collaboration. AI handles boilerplate and patterns while I focus on business logic and creative problem-solving.
Intelligent Code Review
AI assists in reviewing PRs, catching edge cases, suggesting optimizations, and ensuring code quality standards are met.
Accelerated Delivery
From tests to documentation to deployment configs, AI helps me ship production-ready code at unprecedented speed.
Result: 10x faster prototyping, higher code quality, and more time for creative problem-solving
