Hello, I am Mirjam 👩‍💻

I am a highly motivated Software Engineer, leaning heavily on the Frontend side and in love with all-things JavaScript/TypeScript 💛 and testing!

Me, gesturing with my hands and speaking. You see a blurred window in the background. It is clear that this is a conference setting.

What I enjoy most in coding is delivering sustainability: Writing tests and seeing them pass; planning, organizing and improving the software architecture of my project; cleaning up, refactoring, testing and eventually deleting code.

I write reliable, maintainable, well-tested and readable code and semantic, accessible HTML.

I'm an international speaker and love speaking about what's important for me in software development - and yes, I've spoken a lot about testing.

Conference speaking

I've given talks and keynotes on various conferences since 2018 and been invited to community eventes and meetups to speak. I'm open to speak at more events, so, feel free to contact me about that.
