Hi, I'm

About me

I've always had a great interest in computers and technology, which is why I decided to study Computing Science at the University of Groningen.

In my free time, I'm a coder and photographer, also blowing off steam by gaming with friends.

Coding

It took me 6 years to realize how bad JavaScript is, so most of my projects use it. Currently I really like Rust. My larger projects are on my Github and some are shown below.

Photography

When my dad bought our first DSLR in 2010, I was just 6 years old, however I fell in love with photography instantly.

Among the pandemic I sought a hobby and thought, why not take some pictures while hiking.

All of the backgrounds on this website are original shots of mine and I have a separate page with most of my edited shots in high quality.

After upgrading from my dad's Nikon D3100 body with the kit lens, I now use a Sony A7 II with mostly the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 prime. Alternatively, I use the included zoom lens, Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6.
