Who am I?
Hey there! Let's get straight to it! I'm Casper, a motivated frontend developer and student based in Belgium. I started back when I was a 14-year-old kid that had an extreme passion for creating stuff, building simple static web pages and expanding my CSS knowledge by recreating awesome designs. I've continued to grow and evolve as a developer, taking on new challenges and learning the latest technologies along the way.
Now, at the age of 18, four years after starting my web development journey, I'm building cutting-edge web applications using the latest technologies such as React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, and much more.
When I'm not in full-on developer mode, you will find me blasting down a dirt track or the streets of my city. There's nothing quite like the rush of adrenaline that comes from going ultra-fast, and for me, there's no better way to experience that than on my trusty mountain bike.
