Biography
Hi, I’m Hiren! Originally from the beautiful island of Sint Maarten, I’m now based in the vibrant tech scene of Amsterdam. As a full-stack developer, I’m dedicated to making life easier through technology—whether that’s by reducing repetitive work, building intuitive interfaces, or designing seamless experiences.
I’m passionate about all aspects of web development, from backend to frontend, and I enjoy connecting with people from all backgrounds. Explaining technical concepts in a clear way for non-technical clients is something I value.
Outside of coding, you can find me immersed in my other passion: music. I’m currently learning music production and enjoy being a hobbyist techno DJ. I’m especially drawn to the rhythm, structure, and minimalism of techno, which inspire both my musical projects and my approach to development.
Living in Amsterdam offers incredible opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. The city’s thriving tech scene, creative community, and love for electronic music provide the perfect backdrop for my dual interests in development and music. I love the city’s people, biking culture, art, museums, and nightlife —- and the chance to experiment and collaborate with great people but also be independent and dancing to my own beat. Wat een mooie stad!
If you’re looking for a website, need help with a project, or want to chat about tech, feel free to reach out! I’m open to freelance opportunities and always up for a good conversation.
Skills & Journey
My programming journey began with foundational languages like C, C++, and C#, sparking my interest in development. I started my career as a backend web developer, primarily using PHP, and over time, I absorbed frontend development as well, working extensively with Vue.js. This full-stack perspective allowed me to become a developer who enjoys seeing projects through from start to finish.
I’m now working at a higher level, where I can contribute strategically by automating processes and delivering clean, efficient code. I’ve also begun delegating to junior developers and value collaboration to accomplish business goals while improving workflow with smart, sustainable solutions.
