ProfielFoto

I’m a recently graduated Information Science student from the University of Applied Sciences Rotterdam (HBO-ICT), with a strong focus on back-end development and cloud infrastructure.

For my graduation project I built a centralised REST API in Go at INGV in Catania, Italy — acting as a facade/adapter layer over various legacy systems and data sources. Prior to that I spent a semester abroad at National Taipei University of Technology in Taiwan. I’m comfortable working independently and in international environments.
