I'm Nick, a third-year HBO-ICT student studying software development. Based in the Netherlands with a strong backend focus using Java and Kotlin. I care about delivering clean, maintainable and stable code, and can cover pragmatic frontend work when the team needs it. I'm currently learning C# and plan to explore C/C++ next.
For my internship, I'm looking for a place where reviews, testing and iterative delivery are standard practice, and where simplicity and readability are valued over cleverness. Most of my experience sits in the JVM ecosystem, with occasional web development. I'm particularly interested in teams which value cyber security, even if my internship scope is primarily limited to software development.
While Dutch is my mother tongue, my English is of near-native level. My communication is clear and straight forward. Project highlights and code are on the Projects tab, and availability details are on the Contact tab.
