I am a passionate Software Engineer from Amersfoort, working in
Amsterdam. I have a heart for quality and strong communication
skills. I am always looking to improve myself and my skills. I
thrive when working in a strongly connected team. Tackling problems
that seemed impossible at first is something that I love to do :)
