🛠️ Full-Stack Developer @ Sportmonks | ⚽ Sports data APIs | ☕ Coffee nerd

I'm a full-stack developer based in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 with 4+ years of experience building web apps and APIs. At Sportmonks I work on the platforms behind our sports data APIs, mostly with PHP/Laravel, PostgreSQL and a lot of API engineering.

I care about software that's fast, accessible and pleasant to use. I'd rather ship something small and solid than something big and fragile. Outside work I build side projects for whatever problem is bugging me that week. (My pronouns are he/they.)

• Building and maintaining Laravel services and APIs at Sportmonks
• Designing, testing and documenting APIs with Postman
• Side projects in Python (automation, image processing) and Next.js

• System design & distributed systems: event-driven architecture, queues, caching
• AI-assisted development and building tools that work alongside LLMs
• Better CI/CD and DevOps workflows with Docker

• 🖼️ image-transformation: image processing experiments in Python

• Specialty coffee: pour-over is my daily ritual and I'm always tweaking the recipe
• Travel: always planning the next trip
• Curious by default: happy to talk tech, art, design or football for hours
