Hello, I’m Reinder.
I am a creative coder and software engineer based in the Netherlands. Currently, I work a Monks (since 2015), where I develop high-end digital experiences for global clients.
My roots are in the sciences; I studied Physics (master) and Mathematics (propedeuse) at Utrecht University. In 2003, I co-founded the software agency Infi, where I spent ten years building the technical foundation of the company.
During a sabbatical period, I was a rowing coach at the international level. I had the privilege of coaching athletes to success at World Cups and Championships, including Inge Janssen (Bronze EC Seville 2013, Finalist WC South Korea 2013) and Claudia Belderbos (National Champion W1x). I am an Honorary Member of A.U.S.R. Orca.
Creative coding websites
In my spare time, I build platforms that enable others to create with code:
- Turtletoy: A tool for generative plotter art (blog post)..
- Dittytoy: A platform for generative audio and synthesis (blog post).
- OneShader: A playground for single-fragment shader art (blog post).
Digital experiments
I also develop independent initiatives and digital experiments:
- Rijkscollection: A virtual museum generated from the Rijksmuseum collection (blog post).
- The RenderQueue: A collection of WebGL and WebGPU experiments created with Johan Holwerda (blog post).
- Eigen: My current project, building a personal, privacy-focused workspace (blog post).
I build these platforms for the love of making things, but if you’d like to sponsor me or buy me a coffee, it is much appreciated. More than anything, I value your feedback and thoughts on my work, so please feel free to reach out.
