About Me
Hi, I'm Karsten Hoekstra, a passionate developer studying HBI-ICT at NHL Stenden in Leeuwarden. I focus on software development in all its forms and 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. I have experience with modern web technologies, mobile app development, and backend systems.
Outside of coding, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my girlfriend and family, and being around animals. Feel free to check out my projects and reach out if you'd like to work together!
