AboutMe
18-year-old Creative Software Developer student at Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam.
My Story
My interest in tech started around the age of 12. At first I was simply fascinated by computers and software and began experimenting with existing programs. That curiosity quickly grew into building my own PCs and learning how software behaves behind the scenes. While I still enjoy hardware and building computers, my focus has shifted more toward software, reverse engineering and UI/UX design.
One of the things that excites me most about software is understanding how systems work internally and discovering vulnerabilities or unexpected behaviour. This curiosity led me to start learning Lua/Luau, especially through experimenting with games and modding. That early hands-on learning is what really pushed me toward software development as a career.
Design & UI/UX Journey
Before starting my MBO study, I already attended Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam for VMBO Media Design & ICT. That period introduced me to design, branding and user experience.
While traditional art wasn't my strongest skill, I discovered that I really enjoyed designing for real users. I liked creating posters, advertisements and eventually websites. Over time this evolved into a strong interest in UI/UX design, where creativity and technology meet.
Since then I've worked on multiple school and personal projects where usability and visual design were key. Creating interfaces that feel intuitive, clean and enjoyable to use is something I'm genuinely proud of and want to keep improving.

Mountain Hiking
Often I visit Austria with my family, and over time I've built a strong connection with the mountains. Hiking there gives me a sense of peace and perspective that I don't find anywhere else.
Bouldering
I love the community, the problem-solving aspect, and the feeling of finally finishing a route after many attempts. My current highest grade is 7A+ / V7.
