I'm a student at the Amsterdam University of Applied Scienses (HvA). I like to be creative designing visuals, ideas, solutions and implementing them; all working towards a quality product and overal positive user experience. During my studies I discovered that besides working alone, I also enjoy working in a team and reaching goals together.
My personal goal is to become a skilled programmer and grow into a professional Front-end developer.

Displeased Records Zaandam October 2006 - July 2009
Warehouse manager & retail sales
I worked at the music label Displeased Records. At the time this is where I wanted to be, working for the biggest underground Dutch music label. Here I made sure the warehouse was organized.All the incoming packages where handled, and all the outgoing packages where billed and complete. My secondary role was to manage our outdoor music festival sales stand. That's what made this job unique, there weren't many Dutch music labels that provided a fulltime job and the ability to visit music festivals at the same time. I enjoyed this job a lot, until it was time for me to move on and continue my education.

I met a lot of people and learned how they handled their schedules and various problems on a daily basis.
