About Me

// About

Hi, I'm Karsten Hoekstra, a passionate developer with a background in technology and a curiosity for all things digital. Growing up on a farm full of horses, I was always drawn more to coding and problem-solving than to the stables.

Now, I study HBI-ICT at NHL Stenden in Leeuwarden, where I focus on software development in all its forms. I enjoy working on diverse projects, from web and app development to automation and AI-driven solutions.

Whether it's building smart applications, optimizing workflows, or experimenting with new technologies, I'm always eager to learn and create. When I'm not coding, I love traveling, spending time with animals, and being with my girlfriend and family. Feel free to check out my projects and reach out if you'd like to work together!
