iOS & Android & Website Developer

Hi, I'm Tom! I'm a developer based in Deventer, the Netherlands. Back in 2013, when I was just 15, I already tried to build something full of ideas but without the knowledge to finish it. Now, over a decade later, I've turned those ideas into real products. I believe in lifelong learning, curiosity, and building things that make a difference.

iOS & Android Developer

I build native apps using Swift for Apple platforms and Kotlin for Android. Native development ensures optimal performance, smooth user experiences, and full access to platform-specific features.

By choosing native languages, each app feels natural on its platform, takes advantage of the latest OS capabilities, and delivers the best possible experience for users.
