Full-stack web developer and AI training specialist delivering clean code and fast, reliable results.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack web developer and AI training specialist based in the Netherlands, and I found Nova Web Studio to build responsive, client-focused web experiences. I’m known for clean code, fast delivery, and genuine care for the work.
Right now, I work as an AI Training Specialist with Labelbox / Alignerr, evaluating and refining AI-generated code for accuracy and quality. I review Python and engineering tasks, operating independently and asynchronously.
In 2025, I took on founder and web developer responsibilities, managing the full project lifecycle from client consultation to deployment. I design and develop responsive websites and handle build-and-deploy using React, HTML/CSS/JS, and Netlify, including SEO optimisation.
Alongside that, I’ve completed freelance web development projects—from an e-commerce build to React apps like Tic Tracker and a live Meteo weather experience using the OpenWeather API. My goal is to keep shipping thoughtful products while strengthening my impact in both web development and AI evaluation.
