My name is Marijn, I'm a dynamic individual who merges the analytical world of software engineering with the precision of Excel championship-level prowess, and the creative flair of an amateur disc jockey.
As a Software Engineer, I delve into the intricacies of code and system design with a passion for creating robust and scalable solutions.
When I'm not immersed in lines of code, you can find me competing in the Excel world championships. Excel is not just a tool for me; it's a canvas where I blend data with art, transforming numbers into insights. My affinity for Excel has taken me on an incredible journey where precision and efficiency are key. Participating at the championship level has honed my skills to a fine edge, enabling me to manipulate data sets with the finesse of a maestro.
Speaking of finesse, music is another realm where I express my creativity. As an amateur disc jockey, I curate and mix tunes that set the mood and create unforgettable experiences. Whether it's a small gathering or a larger crowd, I love to see how the right track at the right moment can bring people together. My decks are a playground where I experiment with rhythms and beats, weaving soundscapes that resonate with the soul.
Most companies try to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to visual design, but for Planetaria we needed to create a brand that would still inspire us 100 years from now when humanity has spread across our entire solar system.
When you’re building a website for a company as ambitious as Planetaria, you need to make an impression. I wanted people to visit our website and see animations that looked more realistic than reality itself.
When we released the first version of cosmOS last year, it was written in Go. Go is a wonderful programming language, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen an article on the front page of Hacker News about rewriting some important tool in Go and I see articles on there about rewriting things in Rust every single week.
