About
Background
I'm a KTH graduate originally from the Netherlands, with a master's in Distributed Systems and Data Processing. During my studies, I interned at RISE and contributed to ongoing research now turning into a paper. I have around two to three years of experience, and currently I'm working as a full-stack developer at Spaux, building a multi-tenant self-service portal in Laravel from the ground up.

Values & Approach
- •Hands-on Engineering: I believe in truly understanding the code I write. My best work comes from getting my hands dirty and diving into the implementation details.
- •Function Over Form: Clean code matters, but over-optimizing the codebase can slow progress and hurt product quality. The real priority is delivering new, well-functioning features, clean solutions naturally follow when built with intent and responsibility.
- •Full-Stack Enthusiast: I'm not limited to just frontend or backend. I love being involved in every stage of development. From designing UIs to optimizing large-scale data systems.
- •Practical Innovation: I enjoy translating technical requirements to real-world applications that people actually enjoy to use. For me, it's all about adding real value through thoughtful design and reliable engineering.
