I'm a passionate backend developer living and working in Rotterdam, the most beautiful city in the world (no, seriously).
From the sharp lines of the Erasmusbrug to the endless hustle of Europe’s biggest port, Rotterdam inspires everything I do - bold, no-nonsense, and always building.
I spend most of my time writing clean, maintainable code - preferably in Laravel - and trying to avoid meetings.
I’m the founder of CodeIQ B.V. and unofficially call myself an "entrepreneur"... mostly because "just another nerd" didn’t fit on the Chamber of Commerce form.
I love working on open source. These are some of the things I’m actively building or maintaining:
- laravel-mww – Laravel integration for MWW fulfillment
- laravel-virtualizor – Manage Virtualizor VPS servers through Laravel
- laravel-kolmisoft – Laravel wrapper for the Kolmisoft VoIP API
- server-management – An open-source server management system
- sjoppie-api – A backend API for a webshop platform
- OpenMinetopia Portal – Helping to shape the future of the iconic Minecraft server
I mainly work together with my partner in crime @duranaaron - we like to build serious stuff, but not take ourselves too seriously.
Whether it’s code, coffee, or just the beauty of Rotterdam’s skyline at sunset - I’m always up for a good conversation.
Just don't ask me to switch to Amsterdam... unless it’s for a good Laravel meetup
Tot snel! 👋
