Front-end developer experienced in designing and developing websites, applications and gamification concepts.
Where We Went is a narrative driven puzzle game where the mysterious main character can control ancient guardians to solve puzzles. I have been working on this project as a game designer during my minor. My focus was on level/puzzle design, gameplay mechanics and player experience.
Tuinder is a mobile app that helps users make their gardens more sustainable and biodiversity-friendly with AI-powered recommendations. Through a swipe-based system, the app builds a personal profile to generate a garden tailored to the user’s preferences and limitations. During this interdisciplinary project, I was responsible for the front-end development of the app. I collaborated with a designer to improve the UX/UI, as well as with back-end developers to integrate the front-end with the back-end services and AI functionalities.
I helped develop a reporting website for Blijdorp Rotterdam Zoo, focused on sharing their environmental impact. The platform offers 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.
Bnext focuses on circular and sustainable solutions for waste and material reuse. I contributed to the development of their new corporate website by refining content components, improving performance, and resolving design and functionality issues. I also developed the footer, including newsletter signup, navigation links, and animated text.
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, collaborating with another developer, a game designer, and two artists. My main tasks were related to the functionality of the creatures, such as their abilities and behaviors when the player interacts with them.
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.
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, I’m in the middle of my graduation internship at a.s.r., where I'm working on a project focused on gamification and behavior change.

In the second half of my final year, I am currently doing my graduation internship at a.s.r. as a FinOps Intern. I am researching how to improve cost awareness for colleagues working with cloud services through gamification.
During the first half of my final year I took a minor course in Game Design and Development at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. In this course I focused on learning the fundamentals of game design, including game mechanics, level design, and user experience.
During the second half of my third year at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, I participated in an interdisciplinary project where I collaborated with students from various disciplines to create a mobile application. This project allowed me to apply my research-, design- and front end skills in a real-world setting while working with a diverse team.
During my internship at DPDK in the first half of year 3, I worked as a front-end developer on various projects. I gained valuable experience in building responsive web applications and collaborating with designers and other developers. This internship allowed me to apply my skills in a professional environment and learn from experienced developers.
In my second year, I worked on a range of technical projects. I built an MVC web app using Laravel, a full-stack React application with a RESTful API and CRUD functionality, and a mobile app with React Native and Expo GO. I also developed a platform game using pose detection, powered by a self-trained neural network.
In my first year, I built a foundation in both front-end and back-end development. I created a basic HTML/CSS/JS website, developed a PHP reservation system with MySQL, explored CSS framework Bulma for styling an informational site, and made a simple runner game using the Excalibur Game Engine with basic object-oriented programming.
