At Smals, I develop and maintain a comprehensive Angular web application, following best practices in frontend development. Additionally, I create and manage custom web components using Angular Elements to enhance modularity and reusability throughout the application. I implement and maintain a backend-for-frontend architecture, ensuring optimized data flow and seamless API integration. As a software architect for MAGS, I define governance guidelines and oversee the integration of web components into the mobile application, ensuring they meet technical and functional requirements. I also contribute to the Storybook and component guidelines to ensure consistency and alignment across all web components before integration.

At Telenet, I am a member of Team Mora, tasked with the vital mission of modernizing applications to empower Telenet’s success in the digital era. However, it’s important to note that our approach is not about seizing ownership; rather, it’s about facilitating and fostering collaboration. Our focus lies in transitioning outdated applications into cloud-based solutions, leveraging the latest technologies. Presently, my efforts are concentrated on transforming a JSP application into a dynamic Angular frontend supported by a Java backend. Specifically, my responsibilities encompass the refinement of the frontend application, streamlining the pipeline, and overseeing deployment to S3.

For the Flemish government, I played a key role in developing an e-portal tailored for individuals under electronic monitoring. This user-friendly platform serves as a self-service hub, enabling users to check their file status, access information about electronic monitoring, and handle administrative tasks independently—such as managing work schedules and personal information. This not only empowers users but also eases the workload for VCET staff, allowing them to focus on more impactful interactions. My primary responsibility involves creating the frontend for this e-portal.
At the same time, I led and was owner of a project where we styled Primeng components to align with the VO web components in Vue. This project involved making the library accessible through an npm registry, ensuring a seamless integration of styled components.

At LKQ - Car-Systems B.V., I played a key role in developing a comprehensive Garage Management System. This all-in-one solution simplifies garage operations, handling everything from appointment scheduling to parts ordering and invoicing within a unified online platform.
In collaboration with a skilled team, we created a time registration tool, providing employees with a clear overview of tasks and schedules. Additionally, I worked on integrating our system with ROB, streamlining the direct dispatch of work orders to leasing companies.
Simultaneously, I contributed to enhancing the existing GMS platform by upgrading it to MUI5 and implementing new features. This multifaceted experience demonstrates my commitment to innovation and optimization in software development.

Fair Play casinos are versatile entertainment hubs offering a diverse range of games accessible to legal-age players through both physical locations and online platforms. The online casino section features slots, table games, and live casino games. A key focus was the adaptation of the online platform to new style guides and compliance with relevant country legislation, prioritizing security and authentication. For the Spanish casino, significant modifications included language and design updates, with a notable addition being a customizable slot module. This feature allows players to pre-determine play duration, spending limits, balance reminders, and post-session downtime preferences. The Spanish platform served as an extension to the existing one.
In contrast, the Dutch platform is an entirely new creation, maintaining similar functionalities but employing a distinct structure and programming language. This dual approach reflects the adaptability and innovation necessary in meeting diverse market requirements.

Unilogic, a trusted ICT partner serving schools, governments, and businesses across the Netherlands since 1996, has been at the forefront of technology solutions. During my tenure, I contributed to the Dapto project—a web-based administration system designed to empower professionals in efficiently entering and managing data related to students and staff.

In 2015, I joined AppSaloon as a front-end developer, seizing the opportunity to broaden my expertise in React, Angular, and PHP. Beyond my role as a full-stack web developer, I took on responsibilities such as crafting quotations, translating customer inquiries into developer requirements, and contributing to app themes when needed. In addition to development tasks, I delved into the intricacies of GDPR, ensuring AppSaloon’s compliance with data protection regulations.

As a web development teacher, I instructed students in a range of programming languages including HTML, JavaScript, Angular, React, PHP, and CSS. My focus was on nurturing their skills to become proficient developers. Through coaching, I guided them in the practical aspects of programming, testing, and implementing designs to ensure a comprehensive understanding of web development concepts.

During my period at PXL, I was the project manager for a research initiative focused on Universal Design. This project involved the transformation of a listed house into the UD Woonlabo, a dedicated space for exploring and implementing Universal Design principles.
