About me

Intro

Hi, I'm Jolande, a full-stack developer with a background in finance and a passion for building tools that are functional, thoughtful, and human. I didn't start out in tech. I spent years working in finance, developing a deep understanding of structure, process, and business needs. But over time, I realized I wanted to create, not just analyze. I made the jump, joined 42 Belgium (from 42 Network), and fell in love with coding, from logic puzzles to real-world applications. Since then, I've built: – A real-time multiplayer Pong tournament app (Fastify, WebSockets, TypeScript, SQLite) – A fully customized Shopify site for a premium pet brand (theme dev, UX, Liquid + JS) – A personal finance tracker to help people better manage their expenses I bring with me: – A multicultural perspective – Six years of corporate/business experience – A strong curiosity to keep learning Always open to meaningful connections — especially with teams who value curiosity, clarity, and kindness in how they build.
