Full-Stack Developer & Co-Founder

About

I went from zero web development experience to shipping four production applications in five months — including a multi-tenant SaaS with paying clients and an iOS app on the App Store. All while finishing my CS degree.

I'm the co-founder and sole developer of Ctrl:Shift, a workforce management platform serving restaurant chains in Amsterdam. I also built ShipLens (a Shopify tracking integration), Open Grade (a fintech scoring platform for my capstone), and Stop Digging (a real-time alert system I built in a week).

I self-host everything on bare-metal servers — Docker, CI/CD, Nginx, SSL, the full stack. I'm driven by product thinking: I build things people actually pay for.
