Half architect,
half gardener —
for large React codebases.

I've spent the last decade building web applications that other people depend on — patient portals, cancer-genomics visualisations, music distribution back-offices, and government dashboards. The common thread is they all needed to keep working after I stopped touching them.

These days I focus on frontend architecture and the migration work most teams put off too long: legacy → modern, monolith → microservices, no-tests → covered, "ship it" → "ship it on Friday afternoon without flinching."

Lately I've been pushing past the frontend boundary — back to being fullstack by picking up Node.js with Fastify and getting more hands-on with databases. Still early days, but I like being closer to the full round-trip.

Outside of work I bike around Utrecht, playing badminton more than I should, and try to keep my open-source streak alive.
