About me

I am an allround web developer. I am a senior programmer with good knowledge of front-end techniques. I love structure and order and I also stand for quality. I love spending time on fixing little details and optimizing web apps. Also I like working in a team, you'll learn faster and more. As the saying goes: 'two heads are better than one'.

Educations

Avans Highschool

Aug 2004 - Jun 2008

Bachelor - Computer Science (Specialization: Multimedia) The education was mainly Java-based programming, but I also learned about SQL, PHP, MVC, UML and more. During my time in college, I specialized in multimedia. Here I learned about gaming -the importance of OOP-, web- and user experience and design. 's-Hertogenbosch

Rodenborch

Aug 1999 - Jun 2004

Highschool - Havo (Nature/Technics & Nature/Health) I graduated highschool, where I enjoyed doing science, math, biology and arts. I realized in my third year of school that I wanted to do something with websites, and so I started making small flash/actionscript applications. Rosmalen


Careers

Whoopaa / HRMatches

Apr 2011 - current

Fulltime - Lead Developer Whoopaa is a startup that began as a social network where users were able to separate their business- and personal social life. As this idea didn't exactly take off the way we expected it to, we changed the idea. We began a job matching platform, where Whoopaa became the place for job seekers to make an interactive CV enriched with certified tests. The place where companies can create job openings and efficiently find the right candidates needed a name as well, and was called HRMatches. I developed an own framework, which I improved in user experience and speed after the big idea change. I also developed the real time match algorithm as well as a lot of other helpful algorithms. Whoopaa is my current full-time job. 's-Hertogenbosch | http://www.whoopaa.com/

C2K internet solutions

Sep 2008 - Mar 2011

Fulltime - Lead Developer Right after I graduated, I started working for C2K: a full service internet agency. I developed a homemade CMS, CRM and e-mail marketing system. The CMS was used for a dozens of clients, as well as the e-mail marketing system. I also did a lot of custom made web sites/applications. Later on I also developed Layars like: Conquar (a digital adaption of the board game of Risk) and Gowalla (based on Gowalla's API). C2K no longer exists. Eindhoven / 's-Hertogenbosch

Davinci Advies Groep

Feb 2008 - Jul 2008

Graduate Internship - ICT Consultant My second internship and the place I eventually graduated, was at Davinci. I investigated new web-technologies they could possibly use to improve the front-end of their java-based CRM system. I compared technologies such as Adobe Flex, Silverlight, Ruby on Rails together, to find out which could work best for the company. Based on the results of my research, the company eventually decided to use the ZK Framework. Amsterdam | http://www.davincigroep.nl/
