As of 2019 I've founded Status Code and it has been an adventurous journey so far. I've had the pleasure to work on diverse range of projects with lovely people at all kind of companies.

With Status Code I can be able to do what I love most and be self-sustained at the same time! So, if you want to hire me, Status Code is where you need to be.

At Peakfijn we're building web, single page and native applications for startups. We're using a broad range of languages, techniques and skills. Frontend libraries like React and Vue.js are preferred for web based applications. React Native is used for mobile applications for iOS and Android as well as pure Swift in some cases. On the server side we mostly use Laravel to build our API's and generated pages.

Clients included Sprynter, Shleep, Bksy, Beatt, Unilever, Van Lanschot, Split a Gift and DermExpert among others.

As lead developer at KEY I was in charge of all web development within the company and responsible for continuity of our framework and all released projects by our development team. I managed projects when they were in their development cycle, assured quality, deadlines and as a technical consultant I was actively involved in meetings with clients.

Not happy with my xml/xslt based framework, I started working on a complete rewrite of our main development framework. We chose CodeIgniter to be at it's core, which, back then, was among the best out of the box. It had excellent documentation and was easy to grasp.

Alongside I crafted my second CMS on top of this framework. This CMS is still being used now and received numerous updates and bugfixes over the years.

As I got more responsibilities within the company I found myself in a leading position.

This was the start of my professional career as web developer. These were the days of layouts with html-tables, spacer.gif, Netscape, the dreaded Internet Explorer 4 & 5 for Windows and development under Mac OS 8 & 9. It's where I met with HTML, PHP, MySQL and Javascript.

I got to make a lot of websites for companies that at that time even hadn't had a website. It was fun with a lot of exploration and some (hard) lessons were learned by me and our development team.

Things started to get more streamlined and more complex. PHP began to play a huge position-role in our development cycle. I build a custom CMS which made up for a significant increase in development time.

Freshly graduated as an Civil Engineer I landed at my first real job in this line of field. And what a misfit it was... I was put on a large warehouse under construction and needed to draw countless drawings of prefabricated concrete elements. It was boring as hell.

At the time I was doing some web development for family and acquaintances. Loving this hobby and urged by my need to get away from my current employer I applied for a couple of web developent positions.

At Heijdenrijk I sat alongside architect Leo Heijdenrijk. With other colleagues we were translating his plans, sketches and drawings into technical drawings.

Adjecent to Amersfoort Central Station rises a tall officebuilding called "de Argonaut". At the time this building was constructed I've been roaming the construction yard as an architect supervisor. Main responsibility was to make sure that the contracter constructed every bit of this immense building according to technical plans.
