many developers, it all started with music. When I was about 14-15, I was in a band in school and we needed a website. I built it
with MS FrontPage (shudders). A little later I was coding HTML and CSS by hand and was hooked.</p

<p>
While in university (Communication Science) I was freelancing, mostly creating WordPress sites for small and medium sized
businesses. I learned how to create WordPress themes, how to make those sites fast, how to add interactivity with jQuery (back then
everything had to have a slider) and how to deal with clients.</p
>
<p
>After that, I worked as a front end developer in market research (both survey gamification and building dashboards), worked in
education (software for primary school teachers) and building management.</p
>
<p
>Currently, I work as a front end engineer at Miele X in Amsterdam. They are responsible for the online activities of the Miele
brand.</p
