Mathijs Futselaar - Sr. (Web)Developer

Professional

I've been dabbling in software development since 1992-ish, where I started out with Basic, and eventually transitioned into Pascal and then Delphi. Then when the Internet became accessible, I started out with HTML on sites such as Geocities and Angelfire, and eventually moved on to PHP development (PHP3).

Since then I have been mainly a PHP developer, going from (what is now considered) Full Stack to backend only.

I have specialized myself in API and Laravel Development since 2012.

Apart from PHP I am also proficient in C# and SQL (primarily MySQL and Maria). Other languages and frameworks I have experience with are Javascript (VueJS, NodeJS), C++, Pascal, Kotlin (Jetpack Compose), Sass, Python and Java. I am not bound to one language or framework specifically, and like to explore to see what other options can do for me in my personal space.

The same goes out for other tools and techniques. I am proficient with Gitlab, Gitea, Docker, CI/CD and many others.
