I'm 24, from Wormer, and I study Business, IT & Management at Inholland University of Applied Sciences. I work where business meets IT: I keep a company's IT running, I've been part of international event productions and I build custom software together with AI. Right now I'm doing my internship at Buckdesign.

How I work

Whether it's an app, a website or the IT at the office: I start with the people who work with it, not with the technology.

  1. Listen

    I talk with the people who will work with it and keep asking until I understand how their work really gets done.

  2. Make a plan

    I turn what they need into a clear plan: what has to happen, what comes first and what it delivers.

  3. Build with AI

    I build the app together with AI. That way something works quickly, and the people I build it for stay in the picture.

    • Advice and change management

About me

I get my energy from conversations.

Especially with people who are running into something in their work. I listen, keep asking until I understand how their processes really run, and then come up with a solution that fits: a smarter way of working, better set-up systems or custom software.

Naturally takes charge, with a business eye on the future.

  • ConfidentTakes responsibility and keeps the overview when choices need to be made.
  • IntuitiveQuickly sees connections and thinks in solutions.
  • People-focusedStarts with the people who'll work with it, not with the technology.
