👋

Hi, I'm Wouter. I build applications and web things using Rust, Typescript, and C#. I love designing and creating user interfaces, building REST APIs, and developing products to make them better than ever, as well as writing technical documentation and blog articles.

❤️

In my spare time I build games and other cool stuff over at Epic Teddy Games. I also enjoy making music, reading, playing board games, and cycling (if the weather's good).

💼

I'm always open to talk about new opportunities. Interested in working with me? Reach out.
