I commit fully to everything I do. Whether it's running a company, building an iOS app in SwiftUI, organising a Model UN trip to Malmo, or coordinating a multi-camera graduation livestream - I don't do half-measures.
RaoCo is my main focus. Inside it I've scaled GoldenGhee Company to EUR3,000+ in ARR, built Macrow, and shipped Driftd - an iOS game in SwiftUI. On the leadership side, I've chaired our Student Council for eight consecutive years, managed an annual EUR12,000 budget, and raised significant additional funds through fundraising initiatives. I've also interned at Philips and NLMK International, gaining real-world exposure to corporate strategy and Dutch corporate law.
From August 2026 I'll be studying Econometrics and Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
