I grew up in a tiny village in the south of the Netherlands. I first learned about code when I was 8, copying BASIC from a paper manual onto my Commodore 64. Later on I would move from graphic design into PHP programming and have been a fan of the world's most used yet least popular web development language since. PHP is awesome!
My hobbies include gaming, D&D, writing, drawing, nail polish, and I have a second job as cat mom that is mostly paid in cuddles.
I'm open to speak at conferences! Ask me about:
- Burnout signaling, prevention and recovery
- Being a mental health advocate for yourself and others
- Maintenance and development for Legacy codebases
- Collaboration, communication and culture in fully remote teams
- Neurodivergence and the tech industry
- Championing DEI initiatives
