EveryOrigin is a free CORS proxy service that allows developers to circumvent CORS restrictions on websites that don't allow cross-origin requests. The service is free and open-source and was inspired by similar services like allorigins.win and whateverorigin.org. The service is built using Next.js and is hosted on Netlify.
This project was my second attempt at creating a React library. This time I wanted to create a generic table component library that could be used to render feature rich but simple to use tables in react with built-in animations, out-of-the-box sorting, support for actions in an action column and more. The library was built using React and TailwindCss so it's lightweight!
This project is a rework of my original personal portfolio website reimagined with a more modern and robust stack featuring a CMS and static site generation resulting much better performance and a way smoother user and administrative experience!
This projects demonstrates using authentication and an external database for a highly interactive progressive web application. It is a full-stack Next.js project featuring multiple pages, an Api with middleware and mutliple OAuth services to sign in with and persistent data in a NoSql database.
This project was my first attempt at creating a React library. It is a library that allows you easily animate items as they scroll into view. It is simple to use and has a number of customization options. I've used the library in a number of my own projects and it has been a great learning experience.
This project is a portfolio website for Lea Shamaa aimed at aiding her Journalistic career. The website features blog articles, portfolio items and past experiences. The website also has a contact form and about page. The project was made using Next.js & DecapCMS. The front-end features animations, effects, static rendering and dark-mode. On the back-end CMS the content of the website can be altered and added to.
My first project via Team Rockstars IT was working as a Full-Stack Engineer for Road.io (Formerly E-Flux). Road.io develops and maintains a platform for electric vehicle charging and management. I worked on the back-end of the platform, which is built with Node.js and MongoDB. I also worked on the front-end, which is built with React and Semantic UI.
This website is an introduction and community website of the Veldje 14 skatepark in Amsterdam. This project was a learning experience and example of how to use Next.js. This project demonstrates how to use Next.js to render static web pages from a local data source using markdown and JSON. It also loads dynamic content from a remote API using Google Firebase's realtime database for updates on the status of the skatepark.
My first real job as a software engineer specialized in full-stack web development! With team Rockstars I work on project basis for different clients.
This project demonstrates how to use the Next.js framework to render multiple pages from an external data source. The data source originates from the nu.nl.
This project was a learning experience and a good example of how to use Next.js. This project demonstrates how to use Next.js to render static web pages from an external data source. The application allows you to search for rockstars and their songs. The application is inspired by the Front-End Tech Case for my new position at Team Rockstars IT.
As you know by now I like to experiment with different API's. This time we are predicting properties of people based on their name! The application has been created for my own enjoyment and to improve my skills regarding quick prototyping, API data fetching and some minor animations.
For the coding assignment for the Kabisa B.V. company I created the Quoty Quotes Network using React and a supplied Quotes Api (Discontinued).
I built this Personal Portfolio Website to introduce myself as a software engineer, demonstrate some of my previous projects and experiences and as practice in vanilla web development (No frameworks).
As a part-time job and service to my neighbouring shipyard I took management over their website which was at the time of acquisition not working correctly.
During my time as a Software Engineering student I worked for a couple of months at the Winc Academy. The Winc Academy is an online academy where people can learn programming from experienced teachers. The programming studies are done remotely and contact with the students was done via the Slack channel.
For my graduation assignment for my Software Engineering study at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam I did an internship at the Kabisa B.V. company.

As you know by now I like to experiment with the PokéApi. This project is the second Pokémon related application I have built. This time built using the VueJS web framework.
The Monumental Android application was created for the mobile development thematic semester during my HBO-ICT Software Engineering studies. I created this application by myself from the concept to implementation phase.
PokéDex Android was a simple android application that functioned as a PokéDex where you could look through a catalogue of Pokémon coming from an external Api and mark individual Pokémon as caught.
For the mobile development theme semester during my Software Engineering studies on the University Of Applies Sciences in Amsterdam we built an Android application called Vittles aimed at reducing food waste with a diverse team of 5 engineers/designers.
During my Software Engineering studies I did a 6 month full-time internship as full-stack web developer at UsMedia.
TimeWizard was a PHP/MySql time management application I build during my initial application development studies. I later adapted this application for my personal business where employees could track their spent time on different projects on.
