Eager to apply academic knowledge and practical skills in a professional setting. Proven ability to quickly grasp new technologies and implement them to solve real-world challenges.

Work Experience
Clarucom Business Development Company BV
Software Programmer

Responsible for updating an existing project management system, most importantly making a mobile version. Next to that some small tasks in between as clients request extra functionalities.

Administration
2010 - present
Started as a side job with only cultivation related activities. After reorganization, company got a lot smaller and I am currently also responsible for various administration activities and usually also working as group manager. During the year 2016-2017 I worked full-time.
Green Generation
Co-founder
October 2021 - December 2022
After some success in NFT trading a group of friends decided to create a startup. The idea was to create an NFT project that would fund charity projects to help battle climate change and combine that with spreading knowledge about NFTs to the general public. A combination of personal factors, together with the decline of the crypto market at that moment resulted in the end of this project. But the dream still exists.

Really enjoyed this Bachelor. Next to the normal courses I followed the Computing specialization and the minor Business Administration for Computing Science. As I was allowed to start my Master’s before graduating (because of Corona’s “Zachte knip”) I decided to take some extra time for my Bachelor’s Thesis and combine that with some courses of the Master.

To start my bachelor Computing Science, mathematics B was a requirement, so I did a summer course.

Programming languages
Build a lot of my own simple projects using JavaScript, HTML and CSS before I started working with ReactJS.
Only started working with TypeScript recently in my last personal project (Gruusbeks Spotifaai), really enjoying the type checking benefits.
I had prior experience with ReactJS and seen NextJS in use in some projects I was related to but only started using it myself in my last project.
Started using ReactJS during my Bachelor Computing Science. For the course Software Engineering our team had to build a complete webapp for a real client. After that build multiple projects for myself and for work using it.
First learned Python in the Data Mining course using python notebooks. After that often using it for quick simple programs or to automate web processes / scrape websites using Selenium.
C++ was the first language I learned, it was used as the language of the first course in the Bachelor Computing Science.
Been using C# in my work for Clarucom.
Been using CSHTML in my work for Clarucom.
Been using .NET in my work for Clarucom.
Started using TailWindCSS in my last personal project, works very nice.
Was used in the Bachelor course Hacking in C.
Have been using VBA for a lot of Excel macros.
Have been using SQL for some of my own projects and it was thought quickly in some courses in the bachelor.
Build a lot of my own simple projects using JavaScript, HTML and CSS before I started working with ReactJS, of course HTML and CSS are still needed in ReactJS

Haskell was used in the bachelor course Functional Programming. After the study I have used Haskell for some programming on the Cardano Blockchain, but not that much.
Java was used in the course Object Oriented Programming. Do still understand it, but not really worked with it anymore after.
Scala was used in the Big Data course (see Projects) in the bachelor specialisation Computing. Using Scala, Hadoop and Apache Spark we had to analyse a large dataset of our own choice. Not really used it after this.
