Technical skills

I'm pretty good at building websites. I know HTML/CSS, obviously. I'm also fluent in Elixir and JavaScript, amd I know a little PHP and Python too. I generally prefer high-level functional programming languages without mutable references.

I'm comfortable on the UNIX commandline and with Git version control. I also have experience with various flavours of SQL (mainly PostgresSQL at work and MySQL for hobby projects) and a few styling frameworks, of which I liked TailwindCSS the best. I know a little Docker, but trust me, you don't want me to deploy production-critical software without supervision.

Overall, while I do have my own preferences and opinions, I'm capable of picking up any technology and going with it.

And yes, I can work with WordPress, but I'd rather use a Static Site Generator.

I also built websites as independent webdesigner for various people throughout the years.

Certifications

School Program Duration
Lyceum Schravenlant VWO/Atheneum 2019-2025

Yup, that's not a lot, I know :)

I'm still in consideration about what study I will do after high school. Feel free to email me if you have suggestions.

Languages

I speak both Dutch, which is my native language, as well as English, which I learned through online interactions and a lot of Netflix (and I also got courses at school of course ;)

My English is fairly decent in terms of grammar and general fluency, however, I find my vocabulary to be disappointingly narrow, as it is primarily computer-focused. So basically, I can talk for hours about anything related to UNIX, networking, cryptography, mathmatics, or related subjects, but I'll struggle to formulate even a single sentence if you ask me about my holiday.
