I’m a Python developer at Four Digits in the Netherlands, a Wagtail Core Team member, Security Team member, Google Summer of Code mentor, and organizer of Wagtail Space NL.

I work daily with Python, Django, and Wagtail, and occasionally publish packages to PyPI to scratch my own itch. My work often involves consultancy and mentoring, helping teams get the most out of their projects.

I enjoy creating practical tools. Drawing on my background in graphic design to approach problems with a creative mindset. Connecting the dots between challenges and possibilities gives me energy, especially when the result is a tool that makes life easier for others.

Outside of work, I live with my partner Lisette and our six-year-old son. We enjoy camping together, and in my spare time I like rowing, running, and cycling.

I'm a freelance web developer since 2021. Before turning to tech, I spent years as an art registrar, more used to wandering through museum storage rooms than reading lines of code. Since my career change, I've been working extensively with Wagtail and Django, and I currently contribute to Sites Faciles, a platform for the French government. That journey from art handling to web development has shaped the way I approach projects today—with a mix of creativity, precision, and care.

I'm a senior developer and tech lead at Torchbox.

I'm particularly passionate about projects with tangible social impact, and have years of experience working on projects for charities, non-profits and political organisations.
