      RTL has been a fantastic opportunity for me to develop my skills on a high level, learning various techniques and thought patterns from extremely skilled colleagues. Because RTL is a Television company, the projects and products that I have worked on had cutthroat deadlines and massive amounts of visitors. Starting out at the company as part of a huge team to completely rebuild RTL.nl, and then moving on to several bigger, and smaller, projects over the span of 2 years, learning as much as possible about Front-End and other work fields. Extensive experience with AngularJS and ReactJS. Show less
