Eric Landheer

Full stack webdeveloper 🚀

Since writing my first line of HTML and PHP at the age of 15, I have had a huge interest in the web and the development of it. I graduated HBO-ICT at the Hanzehogeschool Groningen in early 2020.

Anything that runs on the web sparks my interest, including: microservices, databases and API's.. As long as it can be connected.

The aforementioned connecting (and building), I mostly do using Laravel and Vue.js, and have been playing around with Go and Firebase as of late.

Skills

Below are the various skills and techniques I have acquired over the years.

Laravel: Laravel has been my go-to framework in PHP since 2015. I have been working with it professionally for years, and I have yet to encounter a (back-end) problem I could not solve with it.
Magento 2: Working in e-commerce, I encountered Magento and have been working with it professionally. Such a promising platform but unfortunately overshadowed with complexity and incomplete features.
Symfony: I have been building microservices with Symfony (and API Platform). I prefer Symfony over Laravel to create microservices mostly because of the support for Doctrine.
Vue.js: Vue.js feels like a huge upgrade coming from Vanilla Javascript or jQuery. Even though other major JS frameworks (React, Angular) offer a similar amount of functionality, I still prefer Vue.js as it integrates seamlessly in Laravel projects.
Tailwind CSS: Semantic classes like: top-navigation-header simply do not feel good. My colleague and I decided that in 2015. We decided to use our own small, utility-first CSS framework (with its caveats). Since Tailwindcss came along, we have used that in our projects and never looked back.
Docker: But it works on my local machine? This sentence should be a thing of the past using Docker. I have been using Docker for years.
Go: What else can I say about Go besides: "Go use it"! It is small, relatively simple to learn and scales really well. Even though Laravel (using PHP) is my go-to Framework for web-solutions, I have been tinkering around with Go and see the possibilities of the language.
Flutter: I have occasionally worked with Flutter. I trust to one day launch a full-fledged app with Flutter.
Firebase: Firebase is on my list to learn. As a small hobby side-project, I have recently developed a small, simple application that allows users to keep track of the location of their items. Using Firestore has been a different taste than old trusty Laravel and a MySQL database.
