Work
I'm currently working as a full stack developer at viable. I get to work with various technologies and frameworks simultaneously,
which I really enjoy. Lately, there's been a lot of React, Spring Boot,
Nest and AWS.
Before I joined viable in 2023, I was a frontend developer at
ASQS, where I
predominantly used Angular. On some, very rare, occasions, I also got to
work with Laravel.
I've also been trying to work on personal projects more over the last few years.
Some of my favorite ones are listed below. ⬇️
nicebucket is a
fast, private, and open-source GUI for S3-compatible storages. 🪣
I created it with my good friend Philip using Tauri and React. Tauri turned out to be a very interesting technology
and a good fit for our use case. While the development would have definitely
been faster with Electron (since we could have used TypeScript for the backend
instead of Rust), I do not regret going with Tauri at all. The app feels snappy,
the binary is fairly small, and getting back into Rust was a lot of fun as
well.
neurofeed was an iOS app that used AI to generate
interactive learning feeds. Imagine Instagram reels but with your own content.
It was built using React Native and Expo. However, this time I got so fed up
with Apple's publishing process, that I probably won't ever do a native app
again.
Break Free was an iOS app that helped people quit
bad habits such as smoking, drinking or gambling.
It is my first ever native app and I also built it using React Native and Expo.
It was a lot of fun coding together a native app for the first time. Especially,
considering this was pre AI coding agents.
SimpleChore was an app that made it easy to schedule
your meals and grocery shopping trips for the week.
The stack I used to implement SimpleChore is Laravel and React, connected through
Inertia. I retired it in October of 2025, since it did not have any active
users anymore.
Pump Up Not Out was an app and browser extension
that helps people quit porn in favor of working out.
It worked by redirecting you to the app whenever you try to visit a website
with pornographic content. Once redirected, the app motivates you to do a quick
set of pushups, pullups or squats. The tech stack was identical to SimpleChore:
Laravel, React, Inertia, Tailwind, shadcn/ui. I also retired it in October
of 2025.
I've also had the chance to contribute to a few open source projects, which I think is a very cool experience. I'd certainly like to do it more often, but I try to limit contributions to issues I run into, rather than contributing for the sake of it. Some of most memorable contributions are the following:
- Adding a configuration option to change the default date format of the Angular DatePipe. This was my first approved to PR to a well-known repository, and I even got featured on the Angular blog.
- Improving the (at the time) new Laravel Starter Kits, since it was an exciting day with multiple contributions.
- Fixing the default value of a useRef call in the Laravel Breeze starter kit, which was my first ever PR in the Laravel ecosystem.
