Projects I'm proud of

Long running project
Systems administration
Since 2007 I have the privilege of architecting a diverse range of solutions for the famous No Agenda Show. This includes the development of various iterations of the podcast distribution systems, intricate file synchronization mechanisms spanning multiple servers, and the adaptation of platforms to cater to both legacy and contemporary podcast clients.
I designed and implemented a robust 24/7 streaming radio platform featuring a seamless blend of pre-recorded and live content.
I facilitated the creation of a chat network and a comprehensive website hosting platform. These endeavors underscore my unwavering commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for the No Agenda Show's multifaceted digital presence.

Complete rebuild
Parish website
The Saint Martin's Parish is a Roman-Catholic parish located in the city of Groningen, The Netherlands. Their old website was quite out of date. I volunteered to make a new one.
created a brand new WordPress website with original styling to match the interior of the church, I updated information to the new website, and now I keep the site up to date.
In addition to the website, I completely modernized the email system and file storage system. This is an example of developing a personalized and efficient online solution. My commitment to delivering a robust and customizable digital platform highlights my commitment to digital security and customer satisfaction.

Migration and redesign
Landscaper's website
The owner of Bevers Hoveniers was dissatisfied with his previous website. It was very generic, the images were stock images, he didn't know how to make changes to it, and he paid an exorbitant amount for its hosting - and when he wanted to migrate the website to another hoster, he was told that he had to pay extra to move the website he already paid for! So instead of taking that route, I migrated his domain to a much cheaper hosting platform, and built his website from scratch using some hints from his previous site. It turned out great, don't you think?
