Hello!
I’m Clara van Opdorp, a full-stack developer with a decade of experience designing interdisciplinary systems and processes. The more mathematical and technical side of my Industrial Engineering background has always interested me most. If you want to know more about my professional background, you can have a look at my LinkedIn profile.
My journey as a programmer started with Python. While I was updating my skills as a Business Analyst I got fascinated by the endless possibilities for creating solutions and applications and understanding data at another level.
Through the years, I’ve taught myself software engineering and artificial intelligence. After learning Python, JavaScript, React, HTML, and CSS, I decided to become a full-stack developer, learning in my own time to integrate all the solutions that bring powerful functionalities and insights to a business. Now I work as a freelance software engineer.
Values
Passion: When it comes to solutions, I believe in mixing the power of emotions and the data that drives them, translating your needs to functional and optimized solutions that fit your goals, market, and wishes.
Transparency: It's essential to share data, keep an open channel with my clients, and use feedback to direct the process as smoothly and cleanly as possible. I value kindness and honesty in relationships with others.
Flexibility: I like flexibility in thinking, approaching challenges, and adapting to my client's work style and needs. I work with effective processes to achieve precise planning and prioritization. I love a challenge and am always learning new technologies.
Agile: By tracking and doing usability testing, we find the best layout and content for your project. We continuously iterate, going through the stages of defining requirements, developing, and gathering feedback. This way, the project always keeps heading in the right direction.
Freedom: I choose my own projects and enjoy the entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and autonomy to tackle interesting problems in the best way. I'm open and curious, and enjoy learning and sharing with people from different cultures, disciplines, backgrounds, and customs.
