He previously worked part-time as a full-stack web developer at Gravity, a digital agency. Floris’ work has shifted more towards the back-end throughout his entire career. He started off as an aspiring web designer. After that he taught himself front-end web development. Soon after followed by the back-end. His interest lies in software engineering, specifically working with data and applying machine learning models to gain all sorts of insights.
