About

For as long as I can remember, I've had a fascination with computers. I ended up taking them apart in my middle school computer lab and started building my own computers. My first pc I had on my own was an Intel Pentium 100MHZ, which was good enough for me to run Age of Empires 2 on. One of my favorite games.

But when it became time for university, I studied Journalism. But I couldn't leave the computers quite alone and so I also did a masters in Computer-mediated communication. I loved deep diving into subjects that were related to tech but also pretty much anything that had to do with complex structures. Which is probably why I ended up programming for a living.

One of my passion projects is Factcheck.nl, a website filled with tools to make your life a bit easier without giving up your privacy. Inspired by the 'old' internet where folks would build something to help out others, I figured I could add something to the conversation with this app.

Currently I am also working at the provincial health authority GGD Groningen, writing software to aid the epidemiology department in their research.

In the past I was working as a digital coordinator at my local newspaper: Dagblad van het Noorden and a digital communications specialist at the governmental disaster management organization Veiligheidsregio Groningen.
