About Me

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.

Step 1

Ideation & Architecture

I use AI to brainstorm solutions, evaluate trade-offs, and design system architectures before writing a single line of code.

Step 2

AI-Paired Development

Every coding session is a collaboration. AI handles boilerplate and patterns while I focus on business logic and creative problem-solving.

Step 3

Intelligent Code Review

AI assists in reviewing PRs, catching edge cases, suggesting optimizations, and ensuring code quality standards are met.

Step 4

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
