About Me

As a youngling, I’ve always dreamt of becoming a video game developer, which gradually led me to the world of IT. Initially, I started out as a backend developer, but thanks to a school project I got to know Angular and it became love at first sight.

I then realised that a brilliant backend will never shine like it’s supposed to without an even better frontend. Having a key eye in noticing how front- and backend are supposed to work together, I’ve decided to focus on becoming a fullstack developer with a higher expertise in frontend. My current favourite tech stack is Angular/Vue + Java Spring Boot + Mongodb, but this could change in a heartbeat when the opportunity arises.
