Front-end Developer

BaaS is an in-house software application built to assist in getting better insights in both online and offline media-campaigns.

During my employment, I worked on the transition to a new front-end application, while keeping the old application in place. This allowed us to make use of modern web-technologies while still providing a consistent user experience to our users.

Fullstack Developer

Bean OpenLab was a platform that allowed businesses and students to collaborate on projects, allowing students to gather knowledge of things that interest them and businesses to gain valuable insights and creative solutions to real-world projects and problems.

I was working with a team to build a web-platform, responsible for leading the development of the front-end of the application, using technologies like Node.js, Jade and SASS.

During a half year, Ton and me researched the flaws and advantages of Google Glass as part of Greenhouse Group Labs, the department that is dedicated to innovation in online and offline media. After we learnt its flaws, we worked on developing a concept that might solve the roadblock of the mobile industry: Battery life.
