Hey.

About me

My name is Laura, I go by she/her and I am a software engineer with over 15 years of professional experience located in the Netherlands. I am passionate about writing code and I have extensive, in-depth knowledge about C#, .NET and React.

I enjoy programming; it was my hobby before I made it my job. It is for this reason — and many, many others — that I am vehemently against any and all use of generative AI. I also don’t shy away from fixing bugs and maintaining and upgrading legacy code, and I have pushed for unit testing, test-driven development, better coding guidelines and code reviews in the past.

In addition to coding, I am also a UX/UI design enthusiast and have some basic practical experience with wireframing, designing and prototyping user interfaces in Figma.

Personal

On the internet, I go by Vivelin (/ˈvɪvəlɪn/, like Vivian). I am passionate about video games[1][2], music[3][4], and I spend a lot of time with my wonderful girlfriend.

I also enjoying reading[5], watching shows[6] and movies[7].

One of my past projects is a more casual, accessible version of the Super Metroid & A Link to the Past crossover randomizer. It combines the SNES games Super Metroid and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past into a single game, and shuffles the items between both games.

My version of it makes it more casual and approachable. It is a Windows desktop app, which allows for better integration and enables features such as a built-in voice-enabled item tracker. Several community members have contributed custom sprite work as well as some features that were not accepted into the original version.
