Hi, I'm Elwyn de Neve 👋
I'm a frontend developer, strategist, and designer with a background in teaching who builds personal projects to sharpen my skills—whether that's creating e-commerce prototypes to explore user flows and interface patterns, developing AI-driven automations to streamline my own workflows and deepen my understanding of machine learning tools, or diving into new technologies to figure out how they can make interfaces feel more intuitive. I love sharing what I learn with others. To me, the best digital experiences come from clear communication, collaborative teamwork, and always keeping real people's needs front and center.

Short Bio
With 14 years of professional experience in the media sector, I've recently channeled my expertise into software engineering, focusing on imparting knowledge in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React.
My passion extends beyond teaching; I dedicate my personal time to server-side development with Next.js and pioneering projects with OpenAI's Assistant API. Residing in Haarlem (NL), my leisure time is a blend of walks with my labradoodle, Cooper, alongside my love for adventure sports, padel, and video games.
