Hello, I'm
Gijs Borghouts.
Software Engineering student passionate about building things and exploring all areas of tech.
About me.
Who I am
I'm a 2nd year Software Engineering student at HZ University of Applied Sciences in Middelburg, Netherlands. I got into tech because I love the idea of creating something from nothing - turning ideas into working software.
My approach
I'm open to trying anything. Whether it's web development, game dev, or something completely new - I believe the best way to learn is by diving in and building things. I'm not afraid to step outside my comfort zone.
Beyond coding
When I'm not at my keyboard, you'll find me climbing, cooking, or gardening. I find these hobbies help me stay creative and approach problems from different angles.
Open for internships & projects
Looking to gain real-world experience
