My journey in IT so far

  1. 2026

    Continuing to discover new technology

    I keep learning modern web technologies, performance optimization, and scalable architecture to build solutions that last.

  2. 2025

    Learning by building

    I grew by working on practical projects, exploring new frameworks, and combining both frontend and backend development in real implementations.

  3. 2024

    Started at Thomas More

    In 2024, I started Applied Computer Science at Thomas More, where I built a strong foundation in software development, logic, and project work.

  4. 2018-2024

    Sintclara College (Economics and modern languages)

    Studying economics and modern languages strengthened my analytical thinking and communication skills, which now help me translate complex problems into clear, user-focused software.

  5. Before 2024

    Curiosity came first

    Technology fascinated me long before my formal studies. That curiosity is why starting IT at Thomas More felt like the right step: I wanted to understand how digital products work and improve them myself.

Why Applied Computer Science

I chose this field because I enjoy solving problems that are both technically challenging and practically useful. The combination of engineering, software, and applied projects fits how I learn best: by designing, building, and improving.

Future dreams and professional ambitions

  • Grow into a strong full-stack developer with a special focus on frontend performance and user experience.
  • Contribute to digital products used by many people in daily life.
  • Move into a technical leadership role where I combine code quality with team growth.
