SELF MOTIVATED

Always have I been able motivate myself to get the best out of myself. It is also the reason why I got into coding. Being perseverant is a very useful characteristic when something is not working the way I want it to.

COMMUNICATOR

During my academic career I have extensively been trained to communicate well. My lack in experience in coding is made up for by my experience in communicating, which I found to be a great help in coding.

ANALYTICAL

My analytical skills are developed during my master at the VU University Amsterdam. Also during several jobs I have been faced with problems that needed extensive analysis which have proved my ability to deal with difficult problems.

PROJECTS

The biggest project that I have worked on and where I am most proud of is ActivityDuck. This project was started during the Le Wagon bootcamp with me and two others. Together we have created a platform where users can really easily book activities at any given location in the world. In just three weeks we managed to develop a MVP of which we are really proud. We are currently looking for seed investors to enable us to develop this further.

ABOUT

I am a software developer who likes to built web applications with ruby on rails. During multiple self study courses online I realized that coding suits me very well. In order to accelerate my knowledge of coding I enrolled in the coding bootcamp of Le Wagon. Before enrolling in the Le Wagon coding bootcamp I finished my master in business administration. This master was really interesting and I've learned a lot in many aspects of doing business, but I felt I missed some specific skills. In today's business environment, I believe being able to code is a huge advantage. That is why I immediately enrolled in the Le Wagon bootcamp as soon as I got the chance. Now that this course is coming to an end I feel confident that coding is what I want to develop further. Therefore I am looking for an interesting traineeship where this is possible!
