Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands
I’m a Computer Science student who really enjoys the mix of hardware and software. I’m proficient in C++ and Java, and I’ve spent my time working on both embedded systems and frontend development. I’ve always liked the challenge of working "close to the metal" on things like firmware and optimization, but I also care a lot about the user side of things. I’m a fast learner and a creative problem solver, so I'm comfortable jumping between low-level engineering and building clean, functional interfaces.
