Hi, I'M SVEN. I BUILD SOFTWARE.

For me, it's all about continuous growth and improvement as a software developer while exploring new technologies and approaches.

I work daily with .NET, C#, and Rust, and I also have experience with Node.js and TypeScript. My focus is on building robust and scalable software. I'm passionate about continuously improving my skills and staying up to date with the latest technologies.

About me

Hey there! I'm Sven Nijhuis, a 25-year-old software developer based in Zaandam with a passion for building innovative and efficient applications.

I specialize in back-end technologies and have experience with various frameworks and programming languages. My professional journey is currently focused on .NET, C#, and Rust. I also have experience working with frameworks like Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, Express, React, and Next.js.

I’m dedicated to staying at the forefront of software development. In my spare time, I work on personal projects, explore new technologies, and stay updated with industry trends. For me, programming isn’t just a profession it's a passion.

When I’m not coding, you can find me running or setting ambitious personal challenges, like completing a marathon. As a former professional cyclist, I’ve traveled extensively across Europe, learning the importance of discipline, focus, and perseverance qualities I now channel into my work as a developer.
