BACKGROUND

I'm a second-year Software Development student at Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam with a strong focus on back-end engineering.

My main interest lies in building scalable and maintainable systems using Laravel, Node.js, and MySQL. I have experience working with REST APIs, AI integrations, database architecture, and VPS hosting environments.

I focus on writing structured, clean back-end logic and designing systems that are efficient, secure, and production-ready.

Currently expanding my knowledge in:

  • Advanced Laravel architecture
  • REST API design & integration
  • Node.js backend systems
  • MongoDB & relational database optimization
  • Server deployment & infrastructure

Available for internship & freelance projects.
