About

I started writing code at twelve: Unity games first, then PHP sites held together mostly by optimism. What stuck was building the whole thing, back to front, and getting the small stuff right.

I studied Informatics in Roosendaal and graduated with honours in 2020, after building software for healthcare, logistics and finance. Since then I have been shipping products that people rely on every day.

Today I'm CTO at Advey, and I also lead development at GetMore Systems. I like small teams, real problems, and people who care about the details.

What I build

What I'm working on now, and the kind of work I like doing.

Now building

Advey

Software for financial advisors. It listens in on the client meeting and does the paperwork: the summary, the client file and the report. The advisor checks it and signs off.

  1. Record
  2. Summary
  3. Client file
  4. Report

Whole products, back to front

I like working on the whole product, from the first sketch to production, not just one part of it.

Systems that stay up

Performance, monitoring and the other unglamorous parts, like code the next developer can actually read.
