Biography
I was born and raised on the paradise island of Curaçao. An island with blue, clear aquamarine waters and tropical breezes waving blowing through beautiful, green palm trees and a capital with colorful buildings in the South Caribbean. We have an endless array of sunshine to fuel your heart with endless happiness.
Career and education
My background is in Computer Science with specialization in business software engineering. I started computer programming at the age of 11. The track record and experience is in building online platforms at several banks, insurance companies, pension funds but also doing high profile projects for the Dutch Government.
Community Involvement and making social impact
Social and technology came together in my family. My father is a social worker and my mother used to work for IBM.
A perfect hybrid I would say. We use to discuss over the dinner table, the poverty in the neighbourhoods of Curaçao, which unfortunately still exists. That’s why I made my personal mission to combat poverty by using technology.
