My Approach

My approach to creating websites and applications is rooted in a few core principles that guide every project I undertake. Here’s a closer look at how I work and what sets me apart:

  1. 1. Keep Things Simple

    The best solutions are often the simplest ones. I select the appropriate tools to deliver efficient, maintainable, and scalable solutions. I don't believe in over-engineering or using the latest technology just for the sake of it. I always strive to find the simplest solution that meets the requirements.

  2. 2. Accessibility First

    I am dedicated to building user-friendly interfaces that are accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. My work at CZ, a leading Dutch Health Insurance company, is a testament to this commitment. Here, I focus on developing applications that empower all users to easily navigate and find healthcare providers.

  3. 3. Attention to Detail

    Details matter to me. I pride myself on my meticulous attention to detail, which ensures that every aspect of the application is polished. From pixel-perfect UI design to a responsive, seamless user experience, it all deserves attention.
