Hi, I'm
Brandon
About me
From a young age I've been the Willie Wortel of the family. Always being curious about science and tech especially.
Currently studying Computing Science at the University of Groningen and working at InstallatieBalie.nl, using and expanding my logistics knowledge from previous jobs. As well as learning about sales and everything else.
My time off is spent either on the computer, badminton court, outside with my camera (maybe rock climbing) or under my cars.
Coding
I've been programming since 2015, starting with JavaScript due to its accessibility. Transitioning to Rust a few years later, attracted by its nice semantics and compile time performance/safety.
Verspil 🍔
Digitized waste-management system developed at my job (6 locations now). Rust backend for the web server, database and secure session handling. Vanilla HTML5 frontend for logging in, writing off and analysis.

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 a Sony FE 24-240mm
f/3.5-6.3.
Cars
'Toyota Starlet XLi' from 1995. No modern features (except a sunroof :)) but will probably outlive me. Currently adding a custom turbo setup.
