Since the age of 14, I was interested in creating websites and starting online businesses. Sometimes I started my own projects / companies, other times I worked as a freelancer. As long as I'm working on great working consumer focused software, I'm happy.
I work as a full-stack developer on the backend as well as the frontend. Besides Ruby on Rails, I work on Node.js / React / React native apps. I'm passionate about TDD (Test driven development) and always work in an agile way with an eye for great UI.
I prefer to work on exciting and challenging projects (who doesn't?!). My office is in Utrecht, from where I work remotely. From time to time I work on site too (in the Netherlands, some of the projects I did were in Utrecht, Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam). Contact me to have a coffee and talk about your project.
Rompslomp is my life's work, a very simple intuitive accounting
solution focused on the Dutch ZZP market. I started Rompslomp back
in 2011 to scratch my own itch working as a freelancer. In 2014
together with my business partner Niels Koning, we incorporated
Rompslomp.nl B.V.. Over the next years, we grew the company into a
team of 12 people after which the company was acquired by Visma in
2022.

Together with The Playful Company, I developed a web application for REFQ B.V. where users could ask references to fill out a questionaire after wich a beautiful resume was created. Techniques used were Ruby on Rails together with React.
For The Lean Scientist an initiative of Climate-KIC, we developed
the new website as well as an online learning platform that
teaches scientists how to be more lean. The responsive platform
consists of a series of steps and assignments the scientists need
to take. Scientists can also review themselves and receive
feedback from their fellow PhDs. The project was built with
meteor.js.
Eduapp is a website that connects apps and education. It makes it
easy and fun to discover apps and creative ideas for educational
use. I did the technical realization for them in Ruby on Rails.

For Raillogix, a fast growing company that's doing short term train transports, I developed a real time planboard. This planboard keeps track of all their transports in real-time. Techniques used are: Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, Coffeescript.
Together with the Club van Delft I developed Intelleqtive.
Intelleqtive stimulates innovation by providing a channel for
micro knowledge transactions between business and the academic
world.
Worldlogger.com started out as a fun visualisation of website traffic on a globe. After that we turned it into a full fletched analytics solution.
Tweetz.tv was a project which I created together with my Ernest
Mistiaen. It read out your twitter timeline and made an TV station
of all the youtube movies in your stream. This website was later
acquired.
Coolwebcamavatars.com was a fun site I developed. It let you record animated GIFs using your webcam. It was acquired later.
Tjoon was a pet project which I created together with my colleages
at Suite75. With Tjoon, people from all over the world could
create an online jam
over the internet. Truly revolutionary at that time.
