About me - Styxit
I am a big fan of Laravel and use it on a daily base. It is my go-to framework for the last years. In the past i worked a lot with CakePHP and spend a few years working with Symfony.
Code
Nintendo Switch games price tracker (2019)
SwitchGames.io - I started a price tracker application to keep track of Nintendo Switch games. It updates prices multiple times per day. Users can subscribe to games discounts and set their own prices. When a wanted game is on sale, users who subscribed to it will recieve an email.
Laundry Admin (2018)
Laundry Admin on GitHub - A fun project to solve one of my “problems”: forgetting to take the laundry out of the machine after it has finished washing. It sounds like a small thing but i put a lot of time and effort in this. It contains a dashboard where you can manage multiple washing machines, see the the history of when they were used and real time tracking of the currently active program. It sends out notifications upon completion to either a push service or email. I used OCR to read the display of the machine and translate that into the remaining time.
HTPC-Manager
HTPC-Manager - Since 2013 i am working on HTPC-Manager, an opensource project wich provides a frontend for all sorts of htpc-related software. It is mostly written in python and relies upon the available API’s from the supported third party software.
Work
Currently i am the Development Team Lead & Software Architect at Exonet, a Dutch Managed Hosting provider. I’ve been with Exonet since 2012 but went on a two year break from 2022 to 2024 to work as a senior backend developer at About You in Germany, one of Europe’s biggest e-commerce companies.
In the past i worked at several companies, all involved in or in some way related to webdevelopment. Besides that i ran my own webdevelopment and consultancy business.
