About

I'm a full-stack developer based in Amsterdam. I've spent the last four years at early-stage startups building products from first commit to paying customers — mostly writing frontend code, occasionally writing backend code, and regularly having opinions about both at the wrong time of day."

"My professional focus is TypeScript and React on the frontend, Node.js and PostgreSQL on the backend. I care about the things that don't always make it into job descriptions: performance that users actually notice, developer tooling that saves the next person an hour, and codebases that a new engineer can read without a guided tour. The last product I worked on, Caspian, shut down when funding fell through. I'm proud of what we shipped."

"Outside of work I maintain dbshift, a small open source CLI for Postgres migrations that more people use than I expected. I write occasionally — mostly about decisions I've made and whether they held up. I'm based in Amsterdam but have worked remotely for most of my career and prefer it."
