About me
I’m a front-end developer with a sharp eye for detail and one of my strengths is ensuring the final product looks and behaves exactly as intended, by translating designs directly into code.
In addition to front-end development, I discovered a passion for game design during my minor. In the first six weeks, I worked as a developer on a mobile game project. For the following 14 weeks, I took on the role of game designer for a 3D game, with a focus on player experience, mechanics, and creative problem-solving.
I’m currently in the final phase of my Creative Media and Game Technologies studies at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, and I’m actively looking for a graduation internship starting in February 2026. I’m eager to use my skills in front-end development and/or game design to research, design, and build a project that makes a meaningful impact.
If you’re looking for a motivated intern who brings designs to life exactly as envisioned, let’s connect!

Projects
Twisted Trail
- Mobile Game
Twisted trail is an endless runner where the main character, Marc Whelan, runs through the forest trying to gather evidence of the strange creatures that live on the trail. I worked on this mobile game during my minor, I was a developer and I worked together with another developer, a game designer, and 2 artists. My main tasks in this project were related to the functionality of the creatures that appear on the trail, such as their abilities and behaviors when the player interacts with them.
Tuinder (Demo Video)
- Mobile App
Tuinder is a mobile app that helps users make their gardens more sustainable and biodiversity-friendly. Through a swipe-based system, the app builds a personal profile to generate a garden tailored to the user’s preferences and limitations. It features a community page to share gardens and comment on others, as well as a to-do list for daily tasks like watering plants or removing weeds. The garden suggestions take into account native plants, water drainage, and reducing paved surfaces. The goal is to not only make the user’s garden, but also the city, a greener place.
Internship Report Website
- Website
- Grade 10/10
For my internship report, I created a website to showcase my experiences and projects during my internship at DPDK. I dive deep into the projects I worked on, the technologies I used, and the skills I developed. The project received a grade of 10/10.
Bnext Corporate Website
- Website
Bnext is a company focused on circular and sustainable solutions for waste and material reuse. I contributed to the development of their new corporate website. My focus was on building and refining content components, improving performance, and resolving design and functionality issues. I also developed the footer, including newsletter signup, navigation links, and animated text.
Blijdorp Report Platform
- Website
For this project, I helped develop a reporting website for Blijdorp Rotterdam Zoo, focused on sharing their environmental impact. The platform complements their main website by offering space for in-depth stories and data, without distracting from practical visitor information. My work included building a custom navigation system, creating new content sections, replicating their existing 404 page, and solving design and functionality issues based on feedback.
