I graduated from high school in 2020. Due to COVID-19, I am taking a year off to work at a small startup called Better Mousetrap, LLC. Most of my technical knowledge is self-taught, though I`m enrolled in the 2021 freshman class at the Colorado School of Mines. I plan to receive a bachelors in computer science there. I have lots of small projects that I work on. My most recent project was for my (now former) high school`s bingo night. Hosted at , it is a virtual bingo game that you can play with your friends and family. I`ve spent time learning about technologies in every layer of the "stack." Hardware level: I build electronics projects with the Arduino, ESP8266/32, and other microcontrollers. I have (and play with) an original Altair 8800b (a hand-me-down from my grandfather). I designed my own rudimentary 8-bit CPU using Logisim. I sometimes participate in CTF competitions where I specialize in the "Binary Exploitation" challenges. I am familiar with the x86 instruction set and have written assembly programs. Operating system level: I sometimes compile my own versions of the Linux Kernel for very specific purposes. I use Linux often and I understand some of the inner-workings of the Linux Kernel and other utilities that are loaded on to popular distributions. I sometimes set up on-premise or cloud servers running Linux. User application level: I made a piece of software to recover the files on my secondary hard drive after the filesystem was corrupted. I made a simple Android app when I was in 8th grade, but it was pretty bad. I am currently learning Flutter. I haven`t really built any (GUI) user applications for Linux, macOS or Windows. Web level: I have built countless little apps with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. My favorite front-end JS framework is VueJS. I`ve used Firebase as a backend for some web applications that I`ve developed. I`m learning how to use NestJS to build better API backends. TL; DR: I get my hands dirty with all kinds of technologies. If you`re looking to hire me, know that I might not have experience with the particular technology that you want me to work with, but I do have the ability to learn. ©

I`ve always been fascinated about how people use technology. The satisfaction it gives me to improve their use of technology, and with that achieve their goals, is why I love what I do. I try to bring each and everyone around me to the next level. I’m born in the Netherlands, in the middle of the cows and farms in the province of Friesland. I was interested in computers from an early age on, sitting on my dad`s lap, copying code and trying to find out what it did. That early tech interest fuelled the passion for my education and career. ©
