Junior Software Engineer

As a Junior Software Engineer at Maqqie, I contribute to the development of a new back office application that lets the Maqqie platform be configured and managed internally. In doing so, I work together with other software engineers and various departments such as legal, support, and customer success.

In this role I'm growing into a full-stack software engineer. I started with no experience in Kotlin and Spring Boot, and I now contribute to the back-end production code within a large codebase on a daily basis. Alongside that, I work with Vue.js and TypeScript on the frontend.

Beyond my technical development, I'm deepening my knowledge of the domain of labour law and the temporary staffing industry. Through the SEU Backoffice Professional training I gained insight into the laws and regulations behind the software I help build.

This experience is teaching me to quickly pick up new technologies, master complex domain knowledge, and keep learning continuously in order to build better software.

Graduation internship Elephant/InDordrecht

At Elephant I carried out research into the personalisation of event and amenity data for InDordrecht. I investigated how personalised content could contribute to a better visitor experience, more visitors, and a longer length of stay.

Based on the research, I developed a technical prototype in which the researched technologies were applied within a user-friendly design. The results gave both Elephant and InDordrecht concrete guidance for the further development of a technical solution for personalised visitor information.

This project provided insight into the possibilities of data-driven personalisation and its potential impact on visitor numbers and the local economy of Dordrecht.

In house IT support

As an employee at Student aan Huis, I provided first-line help with IT/ICT problems. Customers scheduled appointments with me, after which I visited them at home to offer help and advice on everything related to ICT.

Game tester/youth advisor

As a game tester/youth advisor, I provided actionable feedback along with well-founded advice on a game designed to help young people quit smoking. Because I'm part of the project's target audience and have experience with quitting myself, I was able to contribute to the game's development process. I did this weekly during English-language online meetings.

Full-stack web development internship

As an intern at ROX I worked full-time as a web developer for six months. At ROX I delivered back-end, front-end, and design work on the creation of an internal SaaS product. I learned to communicate professionally and to plan my time effectively. On the technical side, I learned a lot about PHP Laravel, TypeScript React and Redux, and dev-ops technologies such as Docker, Vite, and ESLint. I also wrote automated tests with PHPUnit.
