I ·  Selected work

Projects with intent, shipped end-to-end.

A behaviour-profiling platform rebuilt from the ground up. Designed the data model, shipped the front-end, and migrated the hosting to a containerised stack with zero downtime.

Internal tooling for operational workflows. Worked across front-end and backend, with emphasis on accessibility, auditability, and slow, deliberate iteration with the end users on the ground.

Gemeente Amsterdam

A civic digital service touching thousands of residents. Led the deployment pipeline, hardened the CI/CD story, and advocated for clear documentation and calmer release cadence.

II ·  About

A builder who listens first.

I believe software is made of people. The best systems I've worked on were built by teams who slowed down, asked better questions, and let the problem breathe before reaching for a tool.

My background is full-stack — TypeScript and Python are home, Kubernetes is the workshop. Day-to-day I'm a DevOps engineer, which really just means I get to watch a codebase from commit to production and make that journey kinder for everyone involved.

Outside of the terminal I care about impact — using engineering to quietly move something in the world, not to dominate it.

"Good infrastructure is quiet — it lets the people doing the work hear themselves think."

— a principle I keep close

Languages and tools change. The instinct to listen first, ship deliberately, and build for the human on the other end — that doesn't.
