Engineering manager Led the Platform Web SDK team
(5 engineers, 1 PM) that owned and developed the Web software
development kit for extending Miro's functionality by external
developers. Keywords: TypeScript, docs-in-code, enterprise, stability.
Co-founder At WeekMeals, I bootstrapped a
nutritional science company with Stijn (co-founder, marketing/sales).
The goal is that end user know what to eat in order to hit their goal
(gain or lose weight) while providing guidance and a "computed meal
plan" of what to eat. We got 3000+ paying end-users, and as the only
(full stack) engineer built the backend APIs and frontend apps
(iOS/Android/Web). Keywords: Golang, Python, React, JS with Flow.

DevOps (part-time) At Hatching, I've built custom
CI/CD pipeline software that performs unit, visual and integration
tests. Their malware analysis software runs on LXC, QEMU and iptables
which made existing CI/CD software hard to use.
Keywords: QEMU, LXC, Docker, Cypress, Percy, Golang, CI/CD.
June, 2015 — May, 2018
Compiler engineer At LeaningTech, I'm working on a
C++-to-JS compiler called Cheerp. Cheerp is a backend target of LLVM.
I'm also submitting patches to Firefox' and Google's JS JIT engine.
Keywords: LLVM, CodeGen, JIT, v8, SpiderMonkey, WebAssembly.
October, 2013 — May, 2015
Software engineer At Splendo,

I was responsible for creating the technical and functional design, and
creating the implementation with a six-headed team of a revolutionair,
automatic object recognizing ad network for video content. Keywords: Python, C, object recognition, machine learning,
BackboneJS, UX, scalability, distributed networking, libav, OpenMP.
Rust compiler Implement a b-tree
for the Rust standard library, and add an alias
analysis pass to rustc.
2012 — 2013
GNU Gold linker Extend this ELF linker to support
concurrent linking. Not to be confused with parallel linking.
Basically, concurrent linking will streamline the build process. This
project is part of my bachelor thesis.
2011 — 2012
Mathematical term rewriting system Given a user-written math
expression, the system will generate all rewrite possibilities. It will
verify the user's rewrite steps and, upon request, it will display the
best step to rewrite the expression.
In the last year of my secondary school (2008 — 2009), I
explicitly chose to put more time than the required 80 hours in my final
project: I spent over 1,500 hours in prototyping, coding and testing,
since I wanted to create something beautiful and innovative.
My final project, called Voortgezet Onderwijs
2.0 (Dutch for secondary school 2.0), is a web platform
for creating, making and sharing computer-based exams. Currently, vo20 is
only available for the subjects chemistry and computer science. The vo20
project has won the following awards:
