About

I specialize in building applications with a focus on modern front-end architectures and fostering effective collaboration between design and engineering. Having a background in design, I bridge the gap between visual creativity and technical execution, delivering cohesive and engaging digital products. I enjoy working in team environments where we tackle complex challenges in large-scale JavaScript ecosystems.

When off work, you’ll find me on a tennis court, immersed in a book or tending to my garden. I live and work in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
