Designerbyeducation,Developerbyinterest,Tinkererbycuriosity.

I have always been fascinated by technology. While my friends played tibia, I was busy creating my own hacked version.

This is where my interest for programming began as I learned how to host a server, create a database and modify game code to make it work as I wanted. Checkout my awesome bomb squad mod!

The process of unraveling complex systems is a driving force for me, ever since the day I ran my first XAMPP stack.

Creative technologist

Throughout my journey as a creative technologist, I have gained a firm grasp on the principles of (digital) design1 and a deep understanding of programming2. Merging the worlds of aesthetics and functionality.

What I like to do

Fusing

🔥🔥🔥
technology with
🪄
design.

I love to create tools that enhance the performance of professionals or/and empower individuals.

Collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds to achieve a shared objective is a value I hold dear. I firmly believe that exceptional solutions emerge only when we embrace a multitude of perspectives.

My true strengths shine at the intersection of development and User Experience (UX) design. Engaging in both disciplines is where I like to play ball.

What I am up to

 

Who is Sander really?

Besides solving wicked problems, I enjoy cooking — and eating. Making a mean pasta or some sloppy tacos but whenever there is flavour, I’m in!

I like (to be in) nature and am your go-to-person to annoy entertain the house pet at any party!

I try to experiment with random technologies like 3D-printing, Augmented- and Virtual-Reality or micro-controllers. Stepping away from that screen and interact with the (real) world.

Sharing === caring

I like to share my knowledge and experience with others. I do this by giving workshops, mentoring students and trying to be an active member of the developer community.

You can always challenge me for a game but be aware…

...I am in it to win it.

And if the sun is out, I’d love to join you for a beer (or tequila).
