About Me

Hello, I am Casper! I'm a -year-old programmer and student based in Belgium. I adore building accessible, responsive and fast code. Furthermore, I'm also a big fan of open-source, I contribute to open-source as much as I can, I also have many open-source projects.

I have been developing web applications, Discord bots and npm packages for over 3 years and love it! I learn something new almost every day! Currently, I'm focusing on frontend web development, specifically working with React.js, TypeScript, CSS, HTML and much more!

When I'm not programming or in school, I enjoy going mountain biking. I also love skiing!

PS: If there is something that you'd like to know more about me, don't hesitate to contact me!

  • Learning Vue
