Hi! My name isJan Paul. I'm a freelance software engineer.

I'm a 48 year young guy who lives and works in the heart of Amsterdam. I have27 years experience as a developer. But I was trained as an F-16 fighter pilot.

Powered by my Mac, my VanMoof and Red Bull, I enjoy making almost everything. From small business websites to rich interactive web applications. And games. And a lot in between. And so much more.

I currently work as a React, NodeJS , Next and Scala developer (using Typescript). But I'm also able to code in C & C++, Rust and Julia. Lately I've come to enjoy Solid as an alternative to React. And I will always have a special relationship with Ruby and Ruby On Rails, the most beautifull programming language and framework, respectively, in the world.

I practice the martial art Taekwondo🇰🇷. I love to read and to walk aimlessly through the gorgeous city of Amsterdam (not at the same time!). I'm fluent in Dutch🇳🇱, English🇬🇧 and German🇩🇪. I'm also learning to speak Swedish🇸🇪, and I can make myself understood in French🇫🇷, as long as the person in front of me speaks slowly 😬.
