JavaScript
Web
I have a strong grasp on JavaScript. I use it as my primary programming language, and get a lot of stuff done with it. Well up to date with modern ECMAScript, and very slowly delving more towards a functional style of programming.
Hi, I'm Pim
Creative coder exploring the intersection of technology and art. Recently completed a professional bachelor's degree with distinction in Multimedia & Creative Technologies. Currently expanding this education part-time in the arts at NYU's IMA Low Res program. Passionate about innovative projects combining design and technology. Specialized in creative coding, interaction design, and conceptual development.
Coding.
TypeScript
Web
Sometimes projects call for more detail and extra carefulness. Although I have used TypeScript in more than a few projects, I'm still learning the ins and outs of it.
Python
General Programming
I've used Python a couple of times, mostly for machine learning. Whatever Python I know is from working with MicroPython, wrangling Tensorflow, writing tiny scripts to download stuff of of the web, and scouring Github repositories.
C(++)
General Programming
Only know this one in the context of working with Microcontrollers, and even then while using the Arduino library. Whatever C I know beyond that is from looking at game engine source code and other open source projects.
Rust
General Programming
Rust is a language I've been learning to become a better overall programmer, it being my gateway towards understanidng low-level coding, more design patterns, etc. With every error it throws at me, I learn more about the language and how to use it. (Thank you for the beautiful error messages, Rust!)
Haskell
General Programming
While I have an interest in design patterns and general coding, I also have a big interest in finally diving and understanding functional programming. Haskell in specific interests me since I've worked with it while livecoding with TidalCycles.
Node.js
General Programming
I have a good understanding of the Node ecosystem and how it use it. While not super knowledgeable on all it's APIs, I never have issues figuring them out. In the meanwhile, Bun is looking nice and fresh out of the oven...
D3.js
Creative Coding
My dataviz library of choice. D3 is fantastic and I've been trying to put it to use in a few projects ever since I've discovered it. I'm still learning how to use it to it's full potential, which is endless, so I might never get to that point.
HTML
Web
While I don't know ever tag out there, I've got a solid grasp on what is possible with raw HTML. This one is for the recruiters.
CSS
Web
For the few times I do have to use CSS or Sass, I weep tears as I painstakingly out how to use pseudo-elements and whatnot. Please, just let me use Tailwind eternally. This is another one for the recruiters.
Svelte
Web
This very website is made with SvelteKit! While I haven't dived deep into very advanced Sveltekit, I've been working with it for almost a year now, and feel like I have a solid grasp on it. It is pretty darn cool.
React
Web
I really do not like React that much. It gets confusing, and I feel like I'm writing more code than I really should be doing. I've never really made any projects with it, but I understand the basics. I really prefer to steer clear of React.
MongoDB
Web
The only database I really know how to use without an ORM. Even then, I don't know how to use it to it's full potential. It has been a while, but I still know how to work with it.
ml5.js
AI, ML & IoT
ml5 was my introduction to machine learning. It plays nicely with p5.js and make it easy to do small models.
Tensorflow
AI, ML & IoT
I've done some very basic work with Tensorflow, doing predictions and some natural language processing. I am very inexperienced in this field, yet I can't stop myself diving into GitHub repositories.
Git
General Programming
I've learned Git from the first coding lesson I had and have kept on using it. While I know a good deal, I still sometimes have a messy commit history. I do know a great deal on how to collaboratively use Git, having spent a lot of time browsing open source projects.
ESP Microcontrollers
AI, ML & IoT
Having done a few projects with wireless microcontrollers, the two I'm most comfortable with are the ESP32 and ESP8266. I have used them both for automation and for creative projects, and have a Pico-W somewhere around here...
Arduino
Physical Prototyping
Arduino was, like many, my introduction to microcontrollers. I'm okay at electrical circuitry, and embedded modules and systems are something I've worked with a lot. I know a lot of sensors and how to code for them, but don't ask me to build my own IC2 systems.
Art & Design.
p5.js
Creative Coding
Processing and p5 are my preferred creative coding programs. While still scratching the surface of what is possible with them, and additional libraries, I've made a more than a few projects with them.
TouchDesigner
Creative Coding
I use TouchDesigner when creative coding projects require the 3D space. I only use it occasionally, but I can work my way around the software and it's patterns. I take a lot of time to get through the process of producing something, but it is very enjoyable nonetheless.
Blender
3D
Coming from Maya, Blender is my 3D modelling program of choice. I mostly use Geometry nodes, as those are much like TouchDesigner, but it modelling in itself is already such an ease with Blender.
Premiere Pro
Design
Premiere Pro is my video editing software of choice. Editing is fun, but don't throw motion graphics or color grading at me.
Figma
UX Design
Coming from Adobe XD, Figma was very familiar, only things actually worked well and plugins were actually useful. Designing and prototyping are no issue, but I'm having some hiccups relearning animations and conditional flows. But hey, Dev mode is pretty sweet!
Illustrator
Design
Illustrator, the first design software I learnt to use. I consider myself far from good, but still am able to deliver graphics with this.
InDesign
Design
I've used InDesign a number of times. It's a nice program to work with. I've used it for several papers, my resume, a small booklet. Bleeds, color modes and page types are no mystery to me.
Soft.
Team Player
Interpersonal Skills
I excel at collaboration and group projects, able to connect with teammates to achieve shared goals through open communication and constructive feedback. My cooperative nature also enables me to resolve conflicts smoothly.
Communication
Interpersonal Skills
My verbal, written, and visual communication skills allow me to convey complex information clearly and concisely to diverse audiences. I am an engaged listener and presenter.
Collaboration
Interpersonal Skills
I thrive in collaborative environments, actively participating in brainstorming sessions and working cooperatively with others to achieve shared goals. My teamwork enables collective success.
Creativity
Cognitive Skills
I have an innovative mindset, able to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to complex problems. My artistic nature enables me to approach challenges from new perspectives.
Systems Thinking
Cognitive Skills
I excel at understanding how various components interconnect and influence one another within complex systems. This big picture perspective allows me to consider the full context when solving problems.
Growth Mindset
Personal Skills
I have a growth mindset, always eager to learn new skills and expand my capabilities through training, feedback, and experience. Challenges excite rather than discourage me.
