About Tim
Hey! I'm Tim, a software developer out of the 42 school of Amsterdam (Codam).
I specialize in full-stack web development, with a strong low-level programming background and a genuine passion for cybersecurity.
What I bring to your project:
- Solid full-stack skills: JS/TS, React, Node.js, Tailwind, HTML/CSS, SQL
- Low-level expertise in C/C++ — I understand what happens under the hood
- Cybersecurity mindset: CTF player on HackTheBox, comfortable with Nmap, Metasploit, BurpSuite
- 8+ years on Linux, strong Bash scripting
- Clear communicator, proactive, and obsessively clean code
I spent over a year as Lead Developer and founding engineer at Flusk, where I single-handedly built the core features of an automated cybersecurity audit tool, designed API integrations, wrote custom JavaScript plugins for Bubble.io, and even reverse-engineered parts of the platform to ship ahead of the competition. Flusk was later acquired by Bubble — and I walked away with the Bubble Developer Award and a shareholder stake.
I'm the kind of freelancer who gets things done and tells you when something can be done better. I've worked in fast-paced startup environments, handled customer relations, written technical documentation, and always respect deadlines.
Based in Paris, open to remote. Let's build something worth building. 🚀

Education
- Bachelor of IT infrastructureSchool 42 of Amsterdam202442 is a peer-to-peer, project-based coding school with no teachers and no traditional classes. Everything is learned by doing. Core low-level programming Starting from scratch in C, you rebuild fundamental tools yourself — a standard library, a shell (Bash re-implementation), a memory allocator. You learn exactly how a computer works under the hood: memory management, pointers, processes, file descriptors. System & OS concepts Multi-threading, process management, inter-process communication. You get very comfortable with Unix/Linux and understand how an operating system actually functions. Algorithms & Data Structures Sorting algorithms, complexity, optimization. You learn to think about performance, not just functionality. Object-Oriented Programming Tackled through C++ modules, covering inheritance, polymorphism, templates, and design patterns. Web Development Full-stack projects covering web servers (built from scratch in C++), back-end logic, and front-end integration. Computer Graphics Projects like a fractal explorer and a 3D raycaster (à la Wolfenstein) — math-heavy, visually rewarding, and a great exercise in optimization. DevOps & Sysadmin basics Docker, system configuration, server setup — you learn to manage infrastructure, not just write code. The meta-skill: autonomy The biggest thing 42 teaches is how to learn on your own. No one tells you what to do — you read the docs, figure it out, help your peers, and get reviewed by them. It's sink or swim, which is exactly what makes it effective.
