Business IT & Management (Bachelor of Science)

In July 2017, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business IT & Management, a program that bridges the gap between business processes and technical innovation. From the start, I thrived in the propaedeutic year, where I earned my highest grades in Java programming and Mathematics—a clear sign of my affinity for logical thinking and software development.

Throughout my studies, I intentionally focused on technology-driven courses while absorbing the business foundation needed to shape my own ventures. In my final year, I chose Entrepreneurship as my minor and used that opportunity to launch my first business, called UltiStart—an online personal training platform. This project allowed me to merge my passion for sports with my growing expertise in technology and digital entrepreneurship.

Over the course of the program, I designed various solutions and applications that helped me build a strong, practical understanding of both IT architecture and business strategy. This study laid the groundwork for my future in cloud, DevOps, and AI-powered platforms, combining business insight with real-world tech innovation.

International Business Studies (Secondary Vocational Education)

In January 2013, I earned my diploma in International Business Studies at ROCvA, a program with a strong international focus on Entrepreneurship. The curriculum covered core business fundamentals such as Economics, Marketing, Accounting, and Business Communication, providing me with a solid foundation to understand how businesses operate on a global scale.

Throughout the program, I rediscovered my passion for technology, product development, and working with numbers. My interest in entrepreneurship naturally extended into the digital space, where I began experimenting with setting up online shops and exploring e-commerce technologies. This marked the beginning of a shift in my journey, from purely business-focused studies to a deepening interest in tech-driven innovation.

The international setting also pushed me to sharpen my English skills, especially in writing, preparing me for future professional and technical communication in global environments. This education was a key stepping stone that helped me connect business strategy with technology, and ultimately guided me toward a career in cloud engineering, AI, and digital product development.

Economics & Technology (pre-vocational secondary education, theoretical track)

In July 2009, I obtained my VMBO-T diploma (pre-vocational secondary education, theoretical track) from the Calandlyceum in Amsterdam. I chose a curriculum that combined Economics, Agriculture, and Technology, driven by a broad interest in both the business and technical domains. Among all subjects, mathematics stood out as my strongest, sparking a natural affinity for logic, structure, and problem-solving.

This early focus laid the groundwork for my future in entrepreneurship and technology. The combination of economic thinking and technical curiosity would later shape my journey as a DevOps Engineer and founder of AI-driven platforms. It all began with building a strong foundation in numbers, systems, and creative problem-solving—skills that continue to fuel my work today.
